The Hawaii Coast Guard is carrying out a search and rescue operation after two military aircraft reportedly collided in mid- air late Thursday and then ditched in the water north of the island of Oahu. The two helicopters were from a nearby US Marine Corps Air Station and each had six people on board. Rescuers arrived to the scene after multiple reports of the crash, and found debris, an empty life raft and fire on the water. The search and rescue operation could be hampered by waves forecasted to reach up to 40 feet high - predicted to be the largest swell of this year's season. There has been no word yet as to why the crash happened.
