At the time of the occurrence, Fort Campbell was nearby in Kentucky on a training exercise.
On Wednesday evening over the Commonwealth of Kentucky, two US Army attack helicopters collided. Their crews’ whereabouts are unknown, but the local governor indicated casualties were anticipated.
Fort Campbell, a military installation on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee, is where the two HH60 Black Hawks took off, according to a statement from the Army. At roughly 10 p.m., the incident took place as they were flying a regular training flight over Trigg County.
The 101st Airborne Division, sometimes known as the “Screaming Eagles,” is the Army’s sole air assault division. Its modified Black Hawk aircraft are part of that division. The crash’s county is about 25 miles (40 kilometres) northwest of Fort Campbell.
Governor Andy Beshear urged that people prepare for the worst case scenario for the workers as he reported on Twitter that state police and fire agencies were responding to the event.
