The search involves about 50 Canadian Armed Forces members, with help from the OPP, local fire departments, and military rescue aircraft.
The crew was taking part in a training flight. The military has not said anything about what caused the crash.
Helicopters could be seen flying over the river, with military vehicles blocking roads as the Armed Forces kept the search area contained on Tuesday. Our thoughts are with the crew of the helicopter, their families and all the members of 450 Squadron and Garrison Petawawa at this time,” it said.
