SABINE PASS, Texas (AP) - The Coast Guard says three people are
dead and two missing following a helicopter crash in the Gulf of

The chopper had been on its way to an oil rig. A Coast Guard
cutter is at the crash site, about two miles off the Texas coast
near the town of Sabine (sa-BEEN') Pass. Aerial searches will
resume after sunrise.
A spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board in
Washington says investigators will work with the Federal Aviation
