(CNN)[Breaking news update, published at 2:05 p.m. ET] The bodies of two Louisiana National Guard soldiers who were in Tuesday night's crash of a Black Hawk helicopter in waters off the Florida Panhandle were recovered Thursday, the Guard said.

The bodies of the other two National Guard members are believed to be inside the downed aircraft at the bottom of the Santa Rosa Sound, said Maj. Gen. Glenn Curtis, adjutant general of the Louisiana National Guard.
