When a Black Hawk crashed during helicopter training at Fort Campbell in Kentucky, soldiers on the ground sprang into action.
The aircraft — with four members of the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, 101st Airborne Division — crashed into a forest on post shortly after taking off on Jan. 31.
Soldiers from C Troop, 1st Squadron, 32nd Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team raced over to help their fellow soldiers after the Black Hawk landed upside down in a ravine. The fuselage was damaged, causing a fire that engulfed the helicopter in smoke and flames, according to a 101st Airborne Division news release.
