Watch for leaflet drops...

Thanks, but after what I've seen here I think I'll just call in an air strike. Ready for the coordinates?

over international waters is all they said...
likely cause is night flying..something to do with the night vision causing visibility trouble

Proportionately for how many they have in the fight, they're getting hit very hard.

Fourth helicopter accident in three days. First was the MH-53 that went down with no injuries (and later on they went back and bombed the helicopter to keep it from falling into Iraqi hands). Then there was an AH-64D Apache that had some sort of problem but managed to land and then fly back to base. Then the CH-46 last night, and the two Sea Kings tonight.

Prayers out to the victims, their families, and their comrades.

Maybe from the smoke from the oil fires...that is what I heard someone say may have caused the last one.

Reports of panic digging at Molly Ivin's bunker.

Reports are, when she was carried away on a stretcher, she was heard to mumble "What's the frequency?"
