Multiple people are believed to have been killed in a crash involving two United States army helicopters.

The Fort Campbell military base in Kentucky said crew members were flying two HH60 Blackhawk helicopters during a routine training mission before the crash.

The collision was said to have happened around 10pm US time on Wednesday.

The cause of the crash is under investigation and the command said it is “currently focused on caring for the service members and their families”.

It is unclear the number of people who were on board.

Andy Beshear, Kentucky’s governor, said fatalities were expected and that the state’s police and emergency management service were responding to the situation.

“We’ve got some tough news out of Fort Campbell, with early reports of a helicopter crash and fatalities are expected. @kystatepolice, @KentuckyEM and local officials are responding,” Beshear tweeted.

The governor added that more information will be shared once available while calling for prayers for all those affected.

If this had happened in Nigeria, people would have ended up saying things like unskilled pilots, shit hole country, Tinubu brought misfortune to the country, bad helicopters, and so on.

But thank God, I t happened in almighty America. Bad things can happen anywhere, irrespective of the people and the present state of the country.

If it were NAF, you would have seen over 1001 comments on how bad Nigeria is and how useless everybody and everything in the country is.

The moral of this is that, accidents happen and no place or process is perfect.
Let's learn to always see the positive side of things, most especially, our country, NIGERIA.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families that lost their loved ones in the unfortunate event.

Accident knows no country nor race, it can happen at any moment and place.
Rip to the dead and quick recovery to the injured

ALL THOSE AGITATING AND CALLING FOR INTERIM GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE PREPARED TO FACE FHE WRATH OF THE NIGERIAN ARMY.

IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE ELECTION RESULTS, GO TO COURT.

NIGERIA WILL REMAIN ONE AND ASIWAJU WILL LEAD US ALL FOR 8 YEARS COMPLETE

THANK YOU

NAF and NA have seen reason to justify their laxity.
