Nine soldiers were killed when two U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopters crashed during a training exercise in Kentucky on Wednesday night, officials said Thursday morning.
The crash occurred at around 10 p.m. local time (11 p.m. ET) in Trigg County, west of Fort Campbell, the Army base said in a statement early Thursday. The two HH-60 Black Hawk medical evacuation aircraft were engaged in a training exercise, officials said.
All nine soldiers were based at Fort Campbell in the 101st Airborne Division. Their identities were not immediately made public, pending next-of-kin notification.
Brig. Gen. John Lubas, with the 101st Airborne Division, said there were five people in one helicopter and four in the other, which he described as “fairly typical.”

Ahh, just like the Carter years.
What were their pronouns?
More bio-fuel?
Were they trained pilots or did they self-identify as pilots?

CLOT SHOT GOT THE PILOT ????
First question that comes to mind. Did they take the shot?
Not good. My condolences to family and friends.
Did one of them know something about Hillary?
Woman pilot? Diversity hire pilot? We will never know, but we deserve to know.
Prayers for them and their families.
Thoughts and Prayers 🙏❤️🕊️
Reminded of the Sullivan brothers. Grateful for the Sole Survivor Policy. Accidents happen, and this is why we train – better here than in combat.
R.I.P. Soldiers, and God be with the families and the 101st.
Low ball comments, have no place for a tragedy like this.
How about I make fun of your piss-poor life when you die.
I am in tears. My brother was at Ft Campbell for a good while. There but for the grace of God goes our family, but this is still his family.
