Two US helicopters crashed during training

Two United States Army attack helicopters reportedly crashed while on a training flight in Alaska on Thursday.

This Thursday crash confirmed by the military makes it the second such incident in less than a month, ValidViewNetwork reports

The AH-64 Apache helicopters “crashed today near Healy, Alaska, returning from a training flight. First responders are on the scene. The incident is under investigation and more information about the incident will be released when it becomes available,” the US Army’s 11th Airborne Division said in a statement.
It wasn’t immediately clear the condition of those involved in the crash.

The accident followed a similar incident in late March in which two US Army Blackhawk helicopters crashed during a training flight in Kentucky, killing all nine soldiers on board.
