Black Hawk Crashed at Texas A&M
« on: January 12, 2009, 04:13:16 PM »
Watching it right now on CH 13 news. It crashed on a field in campus. They say 4 or 5 army personal were injured and transported to local hospitals.



Updates say three of the injured are in critical condition.

I was in the guts of the building and had stepped back to my desk to see an email from the receptionist. It more or less said the loud boom you just heard was a helicopter crashing. I go up front to see where it happened, only to find out it was about 600 yards straight out the front door :(.

All I could really see though was the emergency vehicles on the street and people walking over to the scene.

About once a semester the national gaurd sends a few various choppers over for excercises or "viewings".

It kinda bit seeing it off in the drill field there when I left work.

My sister is in the ROTC at her high school in Houston, her and her fellow ROTC members just got to ride in a Blackhawk a couple weeks ago, I know the odds are slim but I wonder if it was one of the one's she was in.

Does anyone know for sure if it was at Texas A&M for the ROTC program?

Saw an article that stated there were 4 crewmembers and one Army Lt. assigned to the ROTC program on board. Sound like that's not a student, but an instructor.

Yeah no I wasn't saying I thought she would have been in it when it crashed, but just wondering if it might have been the same Blackhawk & pilot that she flew with a few weeks ago.
