Damn. Deep condolences to all families and fellow service-people.
NAIROBI - Ten crew members died when two US military helicopters crashed off the coast of Djibouti on Friday, the US military in the Horn of Africa country said on Sunday. “The Department of Defense confirmed the deaths of 10 CH-53E crewmembers as a result of the crash that occurred off the coast of northern Djibouti on Friday,” it said.

The two helicopters carried a total of 12 crew when they crashed during a training mission. The military earlier said two crew were rescued on Friday, injured but in a stable condition. “Next-of-kin notifications have been made to all family members of the deceased; however, names are being withheld in deference to family members’ privacy,” Sunday’s statement said.
