DEM took us out on one of their boats for a closer look at the helicopter that went down in Warden's Pond in South Kingstown. They managed to get the chopper upright to stop the leaking fuel. @wpri12 @ShiinaHL pic.twitter.com/Jk8BxaV696

The sunken helicopter is about 2 1/2 miles off the boat ramp here at Worden’s Pond. Investigators from the @FAANews have arrived on scene; @RhodeIslandDEM sent a diver to try to trigger an airbag to refloat it. -SK #WPRO pic.twitter.com/4hoSF5Ia6U
