Two US military choppers crash during training in Kentucky, casualties feared
Casualties were anticipated as two US Army Black Hawk helicopters crashed in Kentucky state during a training mission.
The US army spokeswoman Nondice Thurman said that the status of the crew members was not immediately known.
“It was unclear how many people were aboard the two Black Hawk helicopters when they crashed,” added the spokeswoman.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said that Kentucky police and the state’s emergency management service were responding.
“We’ve got some bad news out of Fort Campbell with early reports of a helicopter crash and fatalities are expected,” he said on Twitter.
The two HH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were part of the 101st Airborne Division. Their Crew members were flying the helicopters that crashed in Kentucky’s Trigg County on Thursday, Thurman said.
