Does anyone know if anyone survived this crash?

Yes, I think it was a Helo carrying a bunch of Recon Marines. I know that one of the Recon guys was on that TV show where all the branches of the military had a team on there doin some kind of Eco Challenge or something, but yeah, I'm pretty sure some did survive, however i know that about 6 of them did not.
 
The Wiz- it says it right below the picture

"Six marines and one sailor were drowned. Amazingly 11 others escaped. Marine Gunnery Sgt. James Paige was credited with saving several of the survivors while losing his life in the process"
 
Not sure about the pilots, but if you look at the back, there's two RIB's trailing the ship. Those were full of SEALs who jumped in and tried to pull guys out.
 
The Wiz,
Here is an article about it:
