    "The UH-60 Black Hawk was based at Fort Campbell, Ky., where base spokesman Sgt. Mark Swart said the military had yet to release the names of the victims. They were identified by the military as members of the 101st Aviation Regiment, 4th Battalion."

    "Jackson County Coroner John David Jordan said the helicopter hit a power line and crashed into a field near a house about 6:15 p.m. Tuesday. Debris was scattered over a large area, he said, and some of the wreckage burned."

        This happened Tuesday night, and for the longest time the Arsenal was refusing to give any info, and at one point referred any questions to the FBI. That's kind of unusual, I wonder if there is more to this story than we know yet. I'm surprised they hit a power line, they played the weather camera footage of the area from 5 minutes before the crash on the news, it really didn't look that bad.

            We have many military installations in Alabama,including the helicopter school at FT Rucker.

              Is it just me, or does it seem like there have been a lot of helicopter crashes this last while?
