A 16-year-old boy in Hawaii is in critical condition after a civilian helicopter carrying five passengers crashed near the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor on Thursday.

A 50-year-old man and 45-year-old woman were taken to an area hospital in stable condition, the U.S. Coast Guard said. Two other passengers were treated at the scene. Witnesses ran to the water and helped pull the passengers to safety, the Honolulu Emergency Services Department said. The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash.
