A Navy investigation has absolved the pilot and aircrew of error in the August helicopter crash that killed five crew members off San Diego’s coast, according to a news release Wednesday.

One crewmember was rescued and five were declared dead after the helicopter fell into the sea and sank about 70 miles off San Diego.

The Navy says a helicopter crash that killed 5 crewmembers off the coast of California last year was caused by mechanical failure, not pilot error.

The helicopter, which was operating off of the USS Abraham Lincoln, ended up losing control when it was landing, struck its rotors on the deck, and fell into the sea.

Navy investigators concluded that the Aug. 31 helicopter crash that resulted in the death of five sailors was caused by a mechanical error.
