A U.S. Navy MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter assigned to the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier made an emergency water landing in the Arabian Sea early Wednesday, leaving one crew member missing.
The incident happened at about 3:30 a.m. ET, according to the U.S. 5th Fleet.
Three of the helicopter's four crew members were successfully recovered and are currently in stable condition aboard the George H.W. Bush, officials said.
U.S. Navy assets in the region are actively conducting search and rescue operations for the remaining crew member, who has not yet been publicly identified.
Military officials said there is no indication the emergency landing was the result of "hostile action."

In the other downing incident it was said if hostile action had caused it, all best were off about the peace negotiation delays and there would be war.
Haven’t heard updates.
Prayers up. May he be safe.
An emergency “landing” - at sea? Do they have inflatable pontoons?

They hover a lot better than they float.
Prayers up for the crewman!
No.
‘Emergency water landing’ says mechanical issue or failure to me.
Landing in the sea. Landing in the sea. Something is wrong.
