A special military investigative team is on the scene of a deadly crash involving two Black Hawk helicopters that killed nine people in southwestern Kentucky
helicopters that killed nine people in southwestern Kentucky, but weather conditions have slowed the early work, Army officials said.
Army officials said they expected to publicly release the identities of the soldiers by Friday evening. A similar crash involving two Black Hawks occurred at Fort Campbell in 1996, when two of the aircraft clipped propellers during a training exercise. Five soldiers were killed and more than two dozen injured. That was the last crash involving more than one helicopter at Fort Campbell, an Army spokesperson said.
The Black Hawk helicopters have something similar to the black boxes on passenger planes, which records the performance of aircrafts in flight and are used by investigators to analyze crashes. Officials said they are hoping that device yields some information about the cause of Wednesday's crash.
