A military helicopter crash is news you never want to hear about. We’ve learned of too many of them unfortunately, particularly in the past few years, and the young men and women lost — selfless Americans who were serving their country, and fell protecting us.

And while a crash is never welcome (obviously), when it does happen, this is the outcome we want to hear: all aboard safe and okay.

Thankfully, that’s what we learned about the three crew members aboard the Navy MG-60S Seahawk helicopter that crashed early Tuesday into the James River, right near Newport News, Virginia (the above photo is of them walking immediately after the mishap).

They were all examined at a local hospital and released without any issues.

As for the wrecked chopper, this is what we know happened, via Military.com:

The helicopter, assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 2 and flying fromNorfolk Naval Station Chambers Field, went down at approximately 10:30 a.m., a spokesman for Naval Air Forces Atlantic, Mike Maus, told Military.com.

According to news station WKTR, a fishing vessel discovered the crash and made a mayday call shortly after 11 a.m. The Seahawk’s three crew members were taken aboard a private boat, which carried them to safety, the station reported.

The Newport News Police Department also responded to the crash, Maus said. The crew members were ultimately transported to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, about 25 miles away. Little information is available about their injuries, but Navyofficials said they are believed to be non-life threatening.

The cause of the crash will be determined by a mishap investigation board, officials said.

Phew.
