A military helicopter with three crew members crashed on a golf course in Maryland, authorities said Monday.

A UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter from U.S. Army Fort Belvoir in Virginia "suffered a hard landing" at around 1:50 p.m. near Leonardtown, Maryland, a U.S. military official told NBC News on Monday afternoon.

There were three crew members on board, and at least one was medically evacuated to a local hospital, according to the official. There was no immediate information on the status of the other two crew members.

Nope. They don't. Don't glide for shit either.

If it's any consolation, "hard landing" is usually used when all occupants are still breathing and expected to stay that way.
