Pentagon Says Two US Army Helicopters May Have Collided
Two US Army helicopters may have collided during a training accident in Hawaii that killed six soldiers and injured nine others aboard the two aircraft, the Defense Department said Tuesday.
"It is my understanding that somehow or other they came in contact," Pentagon spokesman Craig Quigley told reporters in response to questions on the crashes of the two UH-60 Black Hawks on Monday night during a troop training exercise on Hawaii's Oahu island.
However, Quigley said details of the accident, in which all six soldiers on one of the helicopters died and nine of the 11 on the other helicopter were injured, were not clear.
In Hawaii, the U.S. Army said the helicopters crashed during an exercise on the north shore of Oahu.
