Two U.S. Troopers Rescued From Chopper -Report Thu Feb 21, 7:30 PM ET

MANILA (Reuters) - Two men were rescued from the wreckage of a crashed U.S. military helicopter which went down in the southern Philippines early on Friday, a radio report said.

The dzRH radio station said the wreckage was found by fishermen and that two men were rescued. It did not give details and officials could not immediately confirm the report.

At least 12 U.S. troops were on the special forces helicopter, which was flying from the island of Basilan to the central city of Cebu, U.S. officials said.

The helicopter came down in the Bohol Sea off Negros island, about 410 miles south of Manila.

One day clinton will answer to HE who allowed him to be president, for what he did to the US Military while president.

Party now bill, for one day, one day soon, you'll answer for those who died because of your dispicable behavior and gutting of the Military budget while you were commander in chief.

Great news!!!!

[OldFriend]

I am just hoping it's true and not misinformation. As for the media......may they all burn in hell.

Be interesting how this Pearl tragedy is covered by the elites......will they understand the President's designation of 'evil' or will they continue to bash the President in an effort to undermine him and his goal of saving the world from this terror.

I hope we get them all back.

God bless America!

The CH-47 Chinook is a venerable helicopter with a long history (it is the fastest helicopter in the U.S. Army inventory) and because these workhorses are used under extreme conditions they will break from time-to-time. Unfortunately and sadly, the consequences can be deadly and devestating when they do.
