There’s a strange irony to former suicide bombers accidentally killing themselves. Come to think of it, that might have been a better headline for this article. Maybe next time. Screenshot via YouTube.
On Saturday, Sept. 10, a Taliban pilot crashed a repurposed American Black Hawk helicopter during a training exercise at the National Defense University in Kabul. Please, hold your applause until the end.
Videos allegedly showing the incident have since circulated throughout the internet. In them, a Black Hawk helicopter spirals through the air before abruptly smashing into the ground behind a barrier wall. Although the crash was obscured by the wall, pieces of the bird can be seen flying through the air moments after the impact, so it seems safe to say that the bird is totally bleep.
The Taliban’s Ministry of Defense spokesperson, Enayatullah Khwarizmi, announced that three crewmen had been killed and five more had been injured in the crash and that the crash had occurred because of a “technical problem.” Hmm. I’m no aviation expert, but I’d venture to guess that the “technical problem” wasn’t purely technical and probably had something to do with one of these five factors:
