A 🇺🇸 U.S Army helicopter crashed at a military base in Alabama on Wednesday afternoon killed one person and injured another, military officials said.

An AH-64 Apache helicopter crashed during routine flight training on Fort Novosel Army base, about 94 miles (151 kilometers) south of Montgomery, according to a statement from the U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence and Fort Novosel.

The crash killed the flight instructor, while a US. Army student pilot was airlifted to a hospital for additional evaluation, according to the statement.

Dale County Coroner John Cawley identified the deceased instructor pilot as Daniel Munger, 46, who was a contractor and retired from the Army.

Military authorities did not immediately provide any information about the circumstances of the crash. The statement said the accident is under investigation.

“Our primary concern is the welfare and health of the student pilot and care and concern for the family of the deceased,” Major Gen. Clair A. Gill, U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence and Fort Novosel commanding general, said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press.

The AH-64 Apache is a two-crewmember aircraft.

If it were in Nigeria those disgusting and hate filled creatures will blame it on Tinubu their defacto nightmare.

I won't be surprised if some mention Tinubu as the cause.

.. anyone buying American air crafts should have a rethink. All thiyair crashes is due to remodification. They keep doing upgrade and creating more problems to the air craft special design.

Unstand of doing new design. Abandoned old technology or better leave them like that.

Hypocrite like you will ignore Russia disaster but only focus on USA.
Just you know, USA perform more military drift than Russia or any countries in the world, so if one amongst 100 become unsuccessful, that should not mean their military are in ruins.
