  1. puzzling; high altitude straight and level RTB from Rucker to TN? M/R gearbox (MGB) has "30min" dry run capacity so seizure is highly unlikely (we once found a depot level MX tool inside MGB after CCAD) and didn't look like M/R separation … really sad. RiP

  2. That was a complete motor failure. That was a dead fall. I wonder if the pilot did a PMCS before they took off and if they did and ignored something

  3. But Chinese balloons that might not be Chinese or spy balloon 😂

  4. Huntsville in Madison County in the state of Arkansas makes sense, not Alabama. It is like the next town south 23 Hwy. Idk like 30 miles or so away.

  5. dont worry illegal aliens can now vote and your money is feeding them, clothing them, and housing millions of them. Thankfully, Ukraine is getting the help they need.

  6. America baby!!!!!! Build and let crumble zero maintenance zero effort just build and let crumble then raise taxes yall act like this is important news when you just filmed the government being the
    government plain and simple

  7. We don't know whether it was mechanical or weather related
    You left out the most obvious cause… How about vaccine-related, you know, died suddenly?
    That would be my bet.
    So sad.

  8. This accident looks like something happened to the main gearbox or blades.

  9. A Chinese spy balloon hit it?

  10. Omg so sad such a terrible loss

  11. Serving the armed forces is a dangerous business, during peace or war.. VERY COMPLEX POWERFUL MACHINES…. UNFURNATLY EQUIPMENT FAILURE SOME TIMES RESULTS IN TRAGIC LOSS OF ARE GREATEST ASSETS, ARE WARRIORS.. GOD BLESS 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 💖 ✨️

  12. GOD BLESS ARE SOLDIERS LOST !!

  13. Diversity is our strength? How do you know that this Blackhawk wasn't sabotaged by your diversity force.

  14. A pilot mentioned a long time ago that he would never ever fly a helicopter, because once mechanical problems, they fall like a rock. No warning. They also more expensive to maintain, he said.

  15. Best military in the world 😂

  16. I will never forget the one that crashed in Somalia

  17. With all the crisis happening, it has really affected the stock market, one needs to have a different portfolio
    I already invested in forex and crypto which are really profitable

  18. The sky acting up just seems to be the latest trend I see

  19. When the state of the Ukrainian military is more important to the president than the US military, what do you expect? Maybe if the National Guard had that $100 billion, they could have done the necessary maintenance…

    But this administration has already shown that the US military is not its priority. When his general staff advised him to keep Bagram air base open so that air assets could cover the US retreat from Afghanistan that he ordered, Biden denied this advice and closed it anyways. Over a dozen US Marines were subsequently killed at the airport in Kabul as a result.

    Oh well. They’re not his kids….

  20. ayo watch yo jet bruh

    edit rip tho

  21. Thank Goodness there were only 2 onboard and nobody on the ground was injured. My condolences to the families of those killed.😢

  22. RIP to the brothers and sisters onboard❤️

  23. helicopter failures are terrifying, your just falling spinning sort of silently for a couple seconds and i cannot imagine what was going through those pilots minds when they were falling.

    I still have never been on a plane or helicopter and i will never get on one unless i need to. It’s literally taking a big risk of either dying or surviving to get to your location in a plane or helicopter.

  24. MTG and boebert and the Cult will say it was a alien balloon got in the way

  25. Rest In Peace ✌🏿🙏🏿 😔 💔 😞 😢 😭
    Condolences to the family and prayers to God! People stay strong and keep these soldiers in and their families in your prayers! God bless their souls.

  26. I guess we can’t talk about Russia no more now huh

  27. I wanna see the NTSB report.

  28. JESUCRISTO 🙏✝️💚🇺🇸BENDIGA LOS DOS AMERICAN 🇺🇸 SOLDADOS Y TU FAMILIAS Y TU AMIGOS PARA SIEMPRE AMÉN 🙏 AMÉN 🙏✝️💚🇺🇸

  29. Why didn't NBC do a story on the first female f35 pilot that crashed on her first flight?

  30. It's happened before on even some different models (manufacturers), of helicopters. I remember a few from my earlier years when I was just starting out as a pilot. (You know, gathering every bit you can in the way of knowledge when you love it so much).
    Prayers for the family and friends of those lost. It's never easy and it's always frustrating, but in reality we're a very fragile species. 💞💞🇺🇸🇺🇸 Thank you all for your service 🙏

  31. I knew shooting down unidentified flying objects was a bad idea. See
