MSNBC reporting 16 dead with two missing. All American.
If they were still 80 miles from Kabul I don't understand why they didn't climb to altitude on instruments?
A few months ago there was a Blackhawk out of Ft. Hood that hit the wires of a radio tower in reduced visibilty.
Sometimes you just can't scud run.
Thanks, AM.
I don't know.....my hubby, Mike....has been down in Jacksonville Fla for two weeks to pick up his BN blackhawks from Iraq....right now he and 10 other crews are weathered in in Tn....their radios don't work and their instruments are out..Im praying for clear weather tomorrow so they can fly home to Illinois......Im guessing from what Mike has told me about the area, that it was a sudden sand storm......and hitting wires is very common when flying choppers....it's a dangerous business
