Canadian investigators said on Sunday they believe there are 10 to 13 bodies in the wreckage of a helicopter that crashed in the freezing Atlantic off the coast of Newfoundland. Lead investigator Mike Cunningham said one more body has been recovered from the wreckage. The Sikorsky S-92 was carrying 18 workers to oil platforms on Thursday when it reported mechanical problems and ditched into the sea about 50 kilometers from shore. Officials rescued one man who remains in a St. John's hospital in stable but critical condition.
