7 Marines, 4 Soldiers Dead After Army Black Hawk Helicopter Crash In Florida
They were part of a highly experienced helicopter battalion, Curtis said, noting the two pilots were instructors and had “several thousand hours” of flying experience with their crew.
Seven Marines and four soldiers were presumed dead after an Army Black Hawk helicopter crashed on a nighttime training mission off the Florida coast, where U.S. military officials were still conducting a search-and-rescue operation on Wednesday afternoon.
Some human remains had washed ashore, said a spokeswoman for Eglin Air Force Base in north Florida.
Officials did not immediately release information on what caused the crash involving Marines and four members of the Louisiana National Guard.
A U.S. military official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the 11 service members aboard were presumed dead in what could be among the deadliest domestic military training accidents in years. source
