A US Navy P-8 is racing to where the emergency Seahawk was last tracked near Yanbu, a strong sign the helicopter went down in the Red Sea
The P-8 Poseidon is the Navy's long-range patrol plane, built to scan huge stretches of ocean, and it's usually first on scene when something goes into open water because it can spot survivors from the air and drop life rafts.
Unconfirmed reports say the MH-60R crashed after broadcasting its emergency code, and a Saudi air ambulance is also heading for the area.
There's no official word yet on the crew or what brought it down.

Slavyangrad — 🇺🇸/🇸🇦 NEW: A U.S. Navy MH-60R Seahawk is squawking emergency (7700) in the Red Sea near Yanbu @Middle_East_Spectator Update: MES says it has crashed. See if we can get some updates but the US military is not much for admissions of such things. @Slavyangrad
