Helicopter Crash Kill 14

Fourteen American servicemen and women where killed Monday October 26, 2009. The servicemen died in two separate crashes over the day. The first crash occurred on a helicopter heading from Kabul the Afghan capital to the western part of the nation. The helicopter went down with 7 servicemen and 3 civilians killed, its believed that the helicopter didn't go down because of enemy fire. The second crash occurred when two helicopters collided in mid air over southern Afghanistan four servicemen were killed.
More sad news came out of Afghanistan today as the United State loses 14 more servicemen. It is extremely sad considering that both crashes were apparent accidents. Neither helicopter came down due to any enemy fire, I really hate to see incidents like this where we lose soldiers in accidents like this, just knowing that something could have been done to save them. Both crashes also had civilian casualties which makes the whole thing alittle bit harder to handle. I hope to hear more about these cases when the official report becomes available both are under investigation. My heart goes out the families of the people lost in this terrible accident and I would like to thank the servicemen serving in Afghanistan right now.
