US Army Helicopter Crash in Syria??

[taiwan_girl]

I heard from a source that the US Army had a major helicopter crash in Syria - Chinook helicopter. But I have not seen anything on the news about this. Has anybody else heard this?

Haven't heard of this, what's your source?

[Horace]

I'll ask around.

[Horace]

My sources tell me that this may or may not be true - but IF it's true, it might be either unimportant, or HUGE news.
I'll keep gathering information.

Your sources are mistaken. Mine told me the exact opposite.

What’s the opposite of maybe or maybe not?

[Mik]

I couldn’t find anything either.

I guess technically your source could be right, in that there was a helicopter crash in Syria........... in February.

Please tell your source that TNCR expects higher standards.

That was exactly the point my sources refused to make.

UPDATE - I have CONFIRMED through multiple independent sources, that a helicopter either did or did not crash, with consequences that may range from immaterial to severe. More details as they become available.

Good start but need to up the hyperbole to get clicks.

@taiwan_girl - looks like you were mostly right! And beat all international outlets by like 15 hours. You should start a news company.

[Horace]

Nailed it.

Nailed it.

LOL

[taiwan_girl]

Though it is still somewhat "hush hush", my sources (LOL) is that the pilot tried to abort a landing, and when going back up, sucked up a tarp into the rotor. Fortunately nobody died.

Link to video

Reminds me of this older video. Didn't crash, but you can see the updraft.
