The real kicker in finding out what kind of Helicopter they are talking about is that it must be used by the US Coast Guard. I still suspect its probably Sikorsky S-61R since that is used by the Coast Guard and its the model of which they based the military version after and they both can hold large numbers of people (according to wikipedia anyway).

Unless anyone else knows better I think that this is the biggest bird that the USCG has... unless it isn't the USCG (cue the suspense music)
You're close, but it's not that one. The exact type will be revealed later. The reason for the echo, is because it's rather large on the inside.
Because of that I still think its a Sikorsky S-61R since a Sikorsky S92 was close and I can only assume that its the same maker.
