Footage has emerged of a helicopter crashing into water in Hawaii as witnesses watched in horror.
The aircraft, with five people on board, came down near Pearl Harbor.
A 16-year-old boy is in a critical condition, while a 45-year-old woman and 50-year-old man are stable.
Information was not available about two others on board, including the pilot.
One of the passengers was reported to be in a critical condition
In the footage, a man on the shore was heard to say "Oh, c***" as the private helicopter smashed into the water just off shore.
Members of the public were reported to have jumped in to pull the victims to safety.
One of them was Max Burner who said the helicopter started "sputtering" at about 500ft before crashing.
He was quoted by the website Hawaii News Now as saying: "As soon as it hit the water, some people popped out."
Witness Roy Gano said: "My initial reaction was 'This helicopter is kinda low flying'.
"It then hovered for a second and then started to descend. It was not spinning out of control, but it was dropping at a good rate.
"It narrowly missed the rocky edge and turned to its side. I saw people dive into the water to help."
Other witnesses described seeing smoke coming from the helicopter's tail shortly before it crashed.
Two of the victims were taken to Pali Momi Medical Center and the others were being treated at The Queen's Medical Center.
US Navy spokeswoman Agnes Tauyan said the private helicopter went down near the Arizona Memorial visitor centre and then sank
