In this article it says "The crash occurred during
routine training operations Wednesday night around 10:30 p.m. ET, according to
Marine Corps Air Station Yuma Base Commander Col. Robert Kuckuk." The
incident has been all over the news. 7 marines were killed on Wednesday. They were
on their way to Afghanistan. They didn’t know that this was their last flight. “Marine
Corps Air Station Yuma is home to about 4,000 active duty Marines and sailors.”
Families of the 7 that died are devastated. The name of the helicopters was AH-1W and UH-1 Huey and AKA "the
backbone of the United States Marine Corps' attack helicopter fleet."
