This past Wednesday night in Kentucky, two Army HH-60 Black Hawk helicopters collided during a training exercise. Nine individuals lost their lives in the fighting.
The event, which took place at about 10 o’clock at night, has received scant coverage in the media. Two drones in the 101st Airborne Division are equipped for real-time, two-way communication. The crime occurred in Trigg County and the surrounding area, which includes Fort Campbell.
The incident happened while the crew was operating two HH60 Blackhawk helicopters on a routine training assignment, and the 101st Airborne Division stated, “Right now, we don’t know what’s going on with the crew. Right now, the command is focused on taking care of the soldiers and their families.”
An Army commander has confirmed the deaths of all six people aboard the two aircraft, according to ABC News. The early reports of numerous “casualties” in the region were verified by this.
The most recent updates from Fort Campbell are extremely disheartening. Several persons may have been killed in what appears to be a plane accident, according to early reports. The city’s leadership, including the police superintendent and EMS personnel, is collaborating on a plan of action. We will get back to you as soon as we can provide more information. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has asked his followers to remember the fallen.
On Thursday morning, Beshear declared that he would be attending Fort Campbell to investigate the situation. I’ll be at Fort Campbell today to show my support for the soldiers and their families as we try to piece together what happened last night.
They state that the occurrence took place in a wooded area of Kentucky. At 9 a.m. On Thursday, there will be a gathering with the reporters at Fort Campbell to talk about what’s been going on recently.
We see helicopters all the time, but tonight there were two flying straight up over our home and north, and as they crossed, “there was a big explosion in the sky that almost looked like a firework,” and the entire forest was illuminated, as Nick Tomaszewski of Kentucky reported to WSMV.
