Afghanistan: Black Hawk Down!

-->Natürlich ein Unfall. Mir fällt auf, dass jede Woche ein paar US-Soldaten bei Unfällen um's Leben kommen. Ob das was damit zu tun hat, dass die Nachrichten zentral über's Pentagon an die Presse gegeben werden? Würden jede Woche ein paar US-Soldaten bei Kampfhandlungen sterben, würde wie zu Vietnam-Zeiten die Friedensbewegung dem Pentagon die Hölle heiß machen. Also ist nicht, was nicht sein darf...

BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Four U.S. military personnel were killed when an Army Black Hawk helicopter crashed during a routine training mission in Afghanistan on Thursday.

A spokesman for the U.S. Central Command said the crash had resulted in"multiple fatalities."

There was no indication of hostile fire, the command center said, and the crash was not caused by hostile activity related to recent U.S. military battles with Afghan fighters.

The Black Hawk helicopter crashed about 10 kilometers (six miles) east of the Bagram Air Base while on a training mission in an area known as the East Training Range.

It was not immediately known how many were on the helicopter.
