One person was rescued but 17 remain missing in icy waters after a helicopter crashed off Canada\'s easternmost province of Newfoundland.



BBC reports said the pilot of the S-92 Sikorsky helicopter had reported technical problems.



Military and civilian aircraft and ships have continued to scour the area, where debris was been found.



The helicopter crashed about 54 miles or 87 kilometres south-east of St. John\'s, the capital of Newfoundland.



It had been ferrying workers from St. John\'s to oil platforms in the Hibernia and White Rose oil and gas fields, south-east of the Newfoundland coast.
