I just caught the summary of the end of the news saying a black hawk was downed in kuwait and 4 inside are dead.
I dont know if it was mechanical failure , pilot error, or under fire.

I heard this rumor, along with that N. Korea tried launching a missile at us, but it crashed into the ocean. Any of these true?

What in the hell is that going to do? Tidle wave us to hell? eek:
Sucks about the BH. It has been like many of our helicopters have been crashing recently. There were the training missions with several in the past year that had crashed. Maybe some mechanical flaws need to be worked out or something.
