A helicopter carrying American tourists crashed at a coral-viewing site on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, killing two passengers from Hawaii and injuring two others from Colorado. Police Inspector Ian Haughton said, the helicopter pilot pulled one passenger from the wreckage after Wednesday's crash but desperate attempts to revive the 65-year-old woman failed. Haughton said, the 79-year-old man also died despite bystanders' attempts to resuscitate him. He said a 34-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman were taken to the Australian mainland for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. All four tourists knew each other.
