2 injured in Apache helicopter crash, second mishap in three days

An Army AH-64 Apache crash at Fort Carson, Colorado, on Wednesday sent two crew members to the hospital, causing a temporary aviation pause at the installation and marking the second time within three days the service experienced an Apache helicopter mishap.

The pair of service members were transported to Evans Army Community Hospital, where they were treated for minor injuries and released later that night, Fort Carson officials told Military Times.


Investigators will look into the cause of the incident, which occurred around 6:30 p.m. when the helicopter, assigned to 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, experienced a mishap during a routine training exercise, the officials said.

“The command has temporarily grounded all aviation assets on Fort Carson until further notice,” the officials added in their statement.

How does the US Army lose 7 Apaches in training accidents since the start of the year? Either DEI has really taken its toll or the helicopter isn’t very safe and they’re using training accidents as cover for bad equipment.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Or there has been a change in the pilot quality. :shrug:

Or a bit of all of the above.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
