During training mission 9 soldiers killed after 2 Black Hawk helicopters crash in Kentucky
The 2 HH-60 Black Hawk helicopters crashed around 10 p.m. in Trigg County near the Tennessee border, officials said early Thursday.
Helicopters were taking part “in a routine training mission when the incident occurred,” the base said in a statement on Facebook.
The helicopters were medical evacuation aircraft, and it’s believed the crash happened while they were flying and not during a medical evacuation drill, Brig. Gen. John Lubas, deputy commander of the 101st Airborne Division, said during a Thursday morning news conference at Fort Campbell.
