I'd be happy if it was narrowed down to a continent.

No, let's all make jokes about it, like they are doing on the thread about the people who were sucked out of the cargo plane in the Congo. </cynic>
Seriously though... this is so unfortunate. My condolences to the families and friends.

From ABC....
WASHINGTON May 9 — Three U.S. soldiers were killed when their helicopter crashed into the Tigris River in northern Iraq, Pentagon officials said Friday.
The UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter crashed near Samarra, between Baghdad and Tikrit, the officials said. The only other soldier on the helicopter was injured.
Preliminary reports indicated the crash was an accident, a senior Pentagon official said.

I heard this on the radio this afternoon. I thought it was strange that they landed/crashed in the Tigris River, but if they hit power lines it makes sense.
To: neefer
If anyone hears which unit this envolved could you please mail me?
