This is eight miles down the road from my house. 12 people missing. There is a debris field several miles long. They have helicopters and boats looking for survivors, but it is dark and we are having enormous surf right now, expected to go to 40 feet today. It doesn't look good for those 12 marines.

(CNN)Two U.S. Marine Corps CH-53 helicopters with 12 people aboard were missing Friday off the coast of the Hawaiian island of Oahu after an apparent collision, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
The U.S. Coast Guard was searching for survivors, Marine Maj. Christian Devine said Friday.
Searchers spotted a fire and a debris field, including an empty life raft, about 2½ miles north of Haleiwa Beach, according to Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Sara Mooers.
The aircraft were believed to have collided late Thursday off Oahu's north shore, Mooers said.
