| Italian helicopter crashes killing all four aboard |
| 2005-06-01 |
| Italy's military command said that Italian Army helicopter crashed in unclear circumstances, killing all four Italians on board. Rome said it would not affect its troop commitment in Iraq. "It should not discourage or undermine our project of stabilising that martyred country," Defence Undersecretary Filippo Berselli told the parliament. The military command said an investigation had begun into the deaths of the two machinegunners and two pilots, all between the ages of 29 and 39. "The aircraft was returning (to base) after having transported to Kuwait City a member of the contingent," the statement said. |

| #3 Helicopters are living breathing things, it's a group think thing. It requires the whole community of helicopters thinking positive thoughts to keep them flying, one slip and the reality of helicopter flight takes over. |

| #2 Goddamnit. Seems like this helicopter crashes come in clusters. Is it maintenance overstretch that does it? |
