2 soldiers dead in Fort Campbell helicopter training crash
By Dylan Hyman
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. —

Two soldiers are dead after the helicopter they were riding in crashed during a training exercise at Fort Campbell in Kentucky, officials said.

Officials said the Apache helicopter went down around 9:50 p.m. Friday. The crew was conducting a routine training exercise at the time of the crash. The two soldiers killed were members of the 101st Airborne Division.

“This is a day of sadness for Fort Campbell and the 101st Airborne,” said Brig. Gen. Toff Royar, acting senior commander of the 101st Airborne Division and Fort Campbell. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families during this difficult time.”

Most likely weather-related.

A cold front blew through at that time and wind gusts were 45-50 MPH or more with rain and snow flying.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
