"Copter crash kills 16 in Afghanistan" by Associated Press | July 20, 2009
KABUL, Afghanistan - A Russian-owned civilian helicopter crashed and burst into flames shortly after takeoff at southern Afghanistan’s largest NATO base yesterday, killing 16 civilians in the latest in a string of deadly aircraft crashes in the country.
Why is NATO using RUSSIAN-SUPPLIED HARDWARE, 'eh?
A US military helicopter also made an emergency landing in the country’s east, causing several injuries. A military spokeswoman said there was no insurgent fire involved.
There were no indications that the crash of the Mi-8 helicopter at southern Kandahar Air Field was caused by hostile fire, military officials said....
I no longer believe the US military no matter what it says; they have PROVEN THEMSELVES to be UNTRUSTWORTHY!
Civilian helicopters help ferry civilian contractors and supplies to small military outposts across Afghanistan.
Because the LAND SUPPLY LINES are ALWAYS being ATTACKED -- which merits ONE SENTENCE in the back of a censored news report once a month!
In a second helicopter incident, a US military chopper made an emergency landing in Kunar Province, the military said. US military spokeswoman said no enemy fire was reported near the helicopter. Personnel on the helicopter were taken to a medical facility for treatment, but no other details were released.
