No one was seriously injured and all the holidaymakers had chosen to stay in the islands for their break, he said. Video captured by another tourist shows the horrifying moment the chopper spins out of control and crashes.

However, after gambling on a fourth down, Wilson was sacked for a loss of five yards and the Cougars took over with some momentum. Utah only had one drive longer than that the entire game, and it ended with a turnover on downs early in the fourth quarter.

First lady Michelle Obama is expected to answer some of those calls this year.

All Santa tracking happens out of the Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado.

NORAD wrote on their official Facebook page earlier this month: “Thank you for letting us be part of the magic Santa!”

Last year, NORAD Tracks Santa got 1.6 million Facebook likes.

Volunteers are also available to handle the foreign-language inquiries.
