Washington: On Wednesday night over Kentucky, two US Army assault helicopters collided with one another. Although the fate of their crews is unknown, the local governor predicted fatalities.
According to a statement from the Army, the two HH60 Black Hawk helicopters took off from Fort Campbell, a military installation on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee. Around 10:00 p.m., they were flying a routine training mission over Trigg County when the incident happened.
The 101st Airborne Division, also known as the "Screaming Eagles," is the only air assault division in the Army, and they are the owners of the modified Black Hawk aircraft. Fort Campbell is located about 40 kilometres (25 miles) northwest of the county where the accident happened.
