From Fox News:
"Florida authorities on Wednesday recovered the wreckage of a second helicopter that had gone down in a lake just hours after another chopper crashed in the same lake.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told Fox News that a Bell OH-58A helicopter crashed into Lake Apopka, some 15 miles northwest of Orlando around 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday.
A pilot was the sole person inside the helicopter and was rescued by a boater, Orange County Fire Rescue said, adding that a patient had been transported to the hospital to be treated for pesticides.
The FAA said another helicopter, a Bell 206B, crashed in the same lake around 7:15 a.m. while conducting "agriculture operations."
The number of people on board remains unclear. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are investigating. "
NOTE: Both Helicopters belonged to the same company.
It's like that old joke: "Oh, no! Not another day like Wednesday!"
