4 bodies recovered after helicopter with 8 on board crashes off Mumbai Coast

<p>A search continued Friday in the Arctic for a Russian helicopter that went down at sea with eight people on board, off Norway&#39;s Svalbard archipelago.</p>

<p>Two Norwegian helicopters and several vessels have been searching the area since Thursday, and more help was on the way, including a coast guard vessel and a sea patrol plane, the head of the rescue operation Tore Hongset told AFP.</p>

<p>A small robot submarine was deployed overnight to investigate an area where an oil patch and bubbles were observed, but it hasn`t yielded any results yet,&nbsp;Hongset said.</p>
