"I was watching TV when I heard a large explosion," he said. "I looked outside the window and saw two helicopters. One was flying low and was on fire. The other was higher up. The first one climbed and hit the higher one. They crashed in separate areas."

This was an attack and an accident. I dont wanna sound crass but whoever did this is probably Whoopin it up because they got a twofer. It shouldnt be hard to find these guys. I just hope they watch them prior to apprehension so we can get a twofer times ten when we round up all their buddies.

I'm afraid there's a good chance the perpetrators have been getting away in these attacks. Most are eventually rounded up anyway but the speed and surprise of these incidents makes it difficult to immediately nab the offenders. It takes a certain amount of professionalism to hit a chopper with an RPG instead of missing by at least a few feet, so these aren't angry amateurs who haven't had at least some formal training in guerilla combat. With even rudimentary training, many of their attacks and subsequent escape plans are premeditated. Again, human intelligence is absolutely vital and we need more of it.
