Nine US military service members were killed after two helicopters with the 101st Airborne Division crashed in southwestern Kentucky. 9News
The helicopters were medical evacuation aircraft, and it's believed the crash happened while they were flying and not during a medical evacuation drill, Brigadier General John Lubas, deputy commander of the 101st Airborne Division, said during a morning news conference at Fort Campbell.
The aircraft went down in an open field across from a residential area, so no additional casualties or injuries were reported, he said. The Black Hawks that crashed were two of four total helicopters taking part in the training exercise, according to 101st Airborne Division spokesman Staff Sergeant Joshua Tverberg. One helicopter had stopped to refuel, and another was ahead of the two that went down.
The names of the deceased will not be released until all their families have been notified, Lubas said.
