What appears to be a wreckage has been discovered close to the site of Rescue 116's last known location. Rescue 116 had been providing cover for another Coast Guard helicopter Rescue 118 when it lost contact. Rescue 118 successfully completed an evacuation of a crew member on a vessel 240km west of Eagle Island this morning and Rescue 116 had been deployed from Dublin and had been providing top cover for Rescue 118's operation.
