Recovery Mission In Place with 12 U.S. Marines Still Missing

    Crews found all four of the life rafts, but no sign of the men. The 12 aboard two helicopters failed to return after a night training mission.

    Witnesses say they saw a fireball, however the Marines don’t know if the choppers collided.
