A U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk helicopter made an emergency water landing in the Arabian Sea on Wednesday, with one service member missing and three others wounded but in stable condition. The U.S. military stated there is no indication that hostile action caused the crash. The helicopter was deployed to the region on the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier. U.S. Navy assets in the region are currently searching for the missing aircrewman, and the cause of the incident is under investigation. Water landings can be dangerous due to the aircraft's tendency to flip.
