Following the crash of two U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopters late on Wednesday while conducting a normal training flight over the state, the governor of Kentucky stated on Thursday that casualties were anticipated.
Local military officials acknowledged that the collision involved their helicopters. The incident took place in the vicinity of the Fort Campbell military base in Trigg County.
The U.S. Army’s Fort Campbell stated in a statement to Reuters that the status of the crew members was not immediately known but did not specify how many personnel were on board.
The 101st Airborne Division, the only air assault division in the US Army, has been sent to war zones all over the world, and its helicopters are involved in this incident.
According to the Military, the HH-60 is a Black Hawk chopper type designed to aid in various military activities, such as air raids and medical evacuations.
They noted that the incident was still being investigated and more details would be provided to the press once it is becomes available.
