		TALLINN, Estonia (AP) -- A helicopter carrying 14 people, including two Americans, crashed in the Baltic Sea off the Estonian coast on Wednesday and all aboard were believed killed.
		The U.S.-made Sikorsky S-76 helicopter, operated by Finnish firm Copterline, was on a commercial flight from the Estonian capital, Tallinn, to Helsinki, Finland, when it went down in strong winds shortly after takeoff near the island of Naissaar, about three miles off the coast, officials said.
		The cause of the crash was not immediately known, but a storm in the area caused operators to cancel ferries between Tallinn and Helsinki and wind speeds of more than 45 mph were recorded on the Baltic Sea.
