11 people found dead in **rway helicopter crash
 

OSLO: Emergency services have found 11 bodies after a helicopter crashed off the west coast of **rway on Friday, a rescue official told broadcaster NRK.

A search for the remaining two passengers was ongoing, a spokesman from the Rescue Coordination Centre for Southern **rway told NRK, adding that among the 13 passengers were one British and one Italian national. The others were **rwegian.

The crashed helicopter is a Eurocopter model, according to the **rwegian Civil Aviation Authority.

Eurocopter is made by a subsidiary of plane-maker Airbus.

"There have been challenges with this kind of helicopter model in 2012, when errors in the main gear box were identified," the authority said in a statement.

"That model received flying restrictions in 2012 and 2013."
