The wreckage of a Hawaii tour helicopter carrying seven people that went missing Thursday evening has been found, and crews are continuing to search for possible survivors, officials said. The helicopter was found about 9:30 a.m. Friday in a mountainous area on the east side of the island of Kauai, authorities said. A pilot and six passengers, including two children, were on board. Authorities said in a news release that they were sending additional resources to search for survivors. Kauai Fire Department Battalion Chief Sol Kanoho said "no actionable information on the status of the passengers" was available during a news conference Friday afternoon.
Two men have been kicked out of the Army National Guard after liberal activists reported on their alleged membership in a religious group with white supremacist ties. Earlier in 2019, the Atlanta Antifacists group published a report saying East and Woodward were leaders of the Norse pagan group Ravensblood Kindred. The group is part of the Asatru Folk Assembly, which researchers say endorses white supremacy. Haralson County Sheriff Eddie Mixon earlier forced East to resign as a jailer. When the report was published, Woodward was on active duty in Afghanistan. Woodward’s unit returned from deployment in June and an investigation into his connections with white supremacy concluded in October. The military has struggled in recent years to root out members of white supremacist organizations or sympathizers with white power causes, reported USA Today.
