The Louisiana National Guard says the bodies of two soldiers have been recovered from a helicopter wreck off the Florida coast.

A news release from the Guard on Thursday said the bodies of two others were believed to still be inside the wreckage.

The release said officials cannot confirm the other two soldiers are inside until a salvage crew is able to recover the aircraft.

The Black Hawk helicopter crashed amid dense fog during a Florida training mission on Wednesday, killing 11 Marines and soldiers.

Continuing bad weather prevented the recovery of the flight recorder from the wreckage.
