A U.S. Border Patrol helicopter went down Thursday night near the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, the FAA said.
The McDonnell Douglas 600N, with three people on board, made a forced landing because of engine trouble.
The three people were able to exit the helicopter on their own and were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Aerial images showed the chopper sitting on the edge of the surf, just north of the nuclear plant. The aircraft was significantly damaged, authorities said.
A Ryanair flight carrying British holidaymakers has been forced to make an unscheduled landing due to a loss of cabin pressure, the company has said.
Flight FR9336 from Bristol to Barcelona Girona Airport was hit by a “depressurisation incident” on Monday night, Ryanair confirmed.
The plane was diverted to Limoges in central France and 16 passengers were taken to hospital with earache.
Ryanair said it had sent an engineer to try to find out what happened.
In a statement posted on its website, Ryanair said said the loss of pressure “caused the oxygen masks on board to deploy”.
“As a safety precaution the captain descended and diverted the aircraft to Limoges Airport at approximately 2330 local French time,” the company said.
