At this rate, the incidental casualties are superceeding combat casualties.

Helicopters crash all the time. Just last week one crashed in new york state killing 11...

One crashed, 2 collided, and one made a hard landing then took off shortly after.

Keep it in context. Theres more Helicopter sorties being flown in that area then at any other time in history.

Training accidents and mechanical failures happen even in peace time.

I heard those were some kind of observation choppers with lots of newest & expensive stuff onboard.. and that there were just 3 of those onboard the ship.
