#BlackHawk #Kentucky #Soldiers
What does Turtle Face have say?
Lol
Black hawk down 😂
unqualified Republican pilots
My friends will celebrate
@Pickle Rick I wouldn’t be in this position if we didn’t have jarheads testing bombs on fault lines next to a nuke plant creating earthquakes that affect Yellowstone so dont ever tell me you care about anything or anyone including yourself.
@Pickle Rick we sell fresh placentas full of blood for the stem cells and nutrients that belong to the baby just to create economy with cancer and mental illnesses so 6 percent of the world’s population uses 66 percent of the world’s pharmaceutical drugs.
@Pickle Rick human rights zero, animal rights zero but watch that football and fentanyl fly
@Pickle Rick I’m surprised your name isn’t Timothy or Mathew 🤣
@Pickle Rick you watch too much Dr Pill and Oprah
that’s just messed up RIP
Oopsees.
United States has succumbed gon fall like dominoes nation against nation will be at war
Heavy D is next.
This is so heartbreaking. Nine of our best and brightest. So terribly sad. My heart goes out to all the families. May God be with them during this very difficult time.
Boo hoo lol
I’m pretty sure our “best and brightest” wouldn’t have crashed. It is sad though.
brutal,rip bros
This shows how primitive our military technology is. This should never happen with radar and built in failsafes.
Privative? Do we even use that language anymore? We just rolled out new B2’s?? What are you reporting on 1930’s information?
@LoveAndPeace11 not far off. The Blackhawk was first introduced to the army in 1978. That makes it 45 years old at this point.
RIP. It’s a dangerous job. Prayers to the family.
Fukm
@Cob Anusyep
LOL 🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼
WHAT’S SO funny MOFO’ ???? 🤬🖕
Sounds like a collision occurred somewhere? R.I.P.
I get one but Two? That so suspicious
Not really. If you are doing an evacuation mission in an armed or dangerous zone. U need one helicopter for transportation of the injured one with soldiers to secure the drop zone. I’m pretty sure seal team 6 went in with two helicopters and another on stand by.
Well I guess Ukraine is getting two less helicopters and a handful less of mercenaries
No doubt the rotors collided
Dang, that’s scary. We have BH fly over our condos at least 3 or 4 times a day. And on the other side is one of California’s busiest freeways.
How much is a Black Hawk?
To much.
Anywhere from 13Million to 40Million. Depending on how many modifications it has
Enough to not give everyone healthcare like modern countries get
Not enough to have blind spot monitoring apparently
May God bless the family and friends of these brave service members.
Lol so brave they couldn’t fave one minute of battle and killed their own service members and tens of millions of dollars of equipment
😂
We have no chance against the aliens 👽
Reminds me of what happened back in 1978 rescue hostages in Iran
(your heart is in the fight my friend) Operation Eagle Claw, April 24 1980 was the failed attempt to rescue the hostages. Ronald Reagan won the presidential election in November 1980 and minutes after being sworn in as president January 20 1981, the hostages were released. my final army post was Vint Hill Farms in Warrenton Virginia. Post commander was Colonel Leland J Holland one of the hostages in Iran. He met with the new arrivals once a week and he talk about some of his experiences in that ordeal.. i remember him talking about getting on the plane to go home and how sweet the perfume smelled with the stewardesses. and how much anticipation he had felt to be with his wife and children.
Air wolf 🐺?
Can’t believe the ntsb hasn’t grounded black hawks yet
Too much money for military contractors
The NTSB doesn’t have the authority to ground military aircraft. While the crash on Alabama was mechanical failure, the Tennessee crash was obviously human error. Close formation + NVGs = dangerous work.
There is no such thing as an accident.
In this day and age, you’re right. 👍
Foreal…they have the whole sky…did they not see each other? Was there a malfunction?! Make it make sense
@amatos911 It’s all big brother 👁️
@Joshua
Lot of shady things going on lately. Hard to trust both Big Brother & Little Brother
@Handsome BLACK Muscle I agree
Lol
WHAT’S SO FUNNY, MAGGOT 🤬🖕
A least it wasn’t elementary school kids being massacred
Welcome to 8Tr ❤❤❤Sub 🌹❤! 🌹❤👍✋
🕊️😢🕊️ RIP boys,…🕊️🇺🇸🫡you died with your boots on.👍🫡
Better not be Lujan 😮
Two things.
1. Crashed because a projectile of some sort hit both at the same time. Bats? Birds? Who knows.
2. They crashed because of incompetence
WTF. This is 2023 and we’re losing people in training exercises.
Hmmmmm helicopter crashed Been the go to recently huh
What mission were these people were previously on that warranted these soldiers to be silenced?
Many of them were still training
@Skyler Phillips What is your implication by that? The military do routine training…that doesn’t mean they were inexperienced, or never were involved in missions. And there has been several ‘crashes’ killing personal that were involved in many clandestine missions.
Rip brothers and sisters
Passive voice. Who were they crashed by? Military members. The single largest waste of money in the world.
Oh.God..
Please save and protect our troops..please..
And get rid off all those bad alcaguete politicians?
Tku..Lord..
This is crazy but this is how u prepare for war unfortunately these guys are our countries heroes and protectors and my heart goes out to there families…. So sad they were flying in a black out mission with night vision goggles on sounds like they collided… I’m not sure how they crashed with all the radar technology I mean if a car can slow u down so u don’t hit someone I’m sure there technology is on another level so I’m sure something malfunctioned hopefully we find out more and they don’t hide the truth….
Yes !!!!
Nah nah nah we not ready for no war dnt they got radars that’s crazy long live those brave soldiers ❤
They will soon blame Russia and china for this one
Must have had their minds on gender or something else really stupid
And this is the equipment being sent to Ukraine, no wonder they’re losing… I mean winning. Ha ha ha
Ya the superiors need to be investigated for incompetence. No way you should lose people in non combat training.
good thing they died in their county and not sent over seas to murder innocent civilians
ohhhh you a genius,,
Not good 🙏
Not using instrumentation?
So sad 😢
But…is Ukraine ok?
That is their thought process for sure. A planned event to decimate the USA. Demons have no value if the lives lost.
Holy cow! What’s going on? This is terrible for the families of our boys we have lost. I pray they all knew and had a relationship with the one true God. 🙏🏻
Father, I ask that you wrap your arms around Family, Friends, and Investigators this morning.. Please talk to them and bring guidance into their lives with your Word.. Father, I ask that you please bring healing into their lives, healing from the hurt, pain, and sadness, healing from worry and anxiety, healing from depression and grief, healing from anything else that may bring harm to their body and homes.. Father, I ask that you please bring healing, comfort, and peace to their mind and heart for their loss.. I ask that you please remove the sadness and replace it with happiness, love, laughter and tears of joy for the memories made and for the memories they can make in Heaven.. Father, I ask that you please provide for any assistance or needs that they may have and I ask that you please bring blessings into their lives so that they may be a blessing for others.. In Jesus name, I pray.. Amen!!!
RIP BRAVE SOLDIERS
Starting to look like we need a qualified military not so much a diversified military
Who’s training these pilots Chelsea Manning
No routine.
Rip
Really !!. What in heck where they flying IFR. Next to each other ?? There are no instruments that will tell you how far another another craft is away from you on thr left side right side above you or below you !! No wonder why they collided!! IFR stands for (instrument fight rules). Which allows a airplane ploit to land with instruments only. Not being able to see any thing around them in front of them, above them or below them. Who’s the smart one who came up with this flight plan ??? It’s that person’s fault !!
😮😮😮Must’ve hit that spare Chinese spy balloon…Demincha Joe and Vanilla Camel Toe sleep at the wheel again….

Rest in peace brother’s
Soldiers were returning from black ops mission, when high ranked somebody ordered to leave no witnesses behind.
Didnt this happen last month and they crashed on a highway? Is our gear rusting or what?

No hawks, just KFC.
