Watch: Black Hawk Helo Wreaks Havoc On Civilian Hurricane Outpost, Raising Questions
2024-10-08
[ZeroHedge] The pilots of what appears to be an unmarked Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter generated a massive downwash, also known as rotor wash, that sent tents and aid flying in all directions at a volunteer supply zone operated by private citizens in western North Carolina.

This action by the helicopter pilots is up for debate, with many on X believing this was an intentional act of sabotage by the federal government.

There are no official statements by local, state, or federal governments about the incident. Flight tracking data shows that the Black Hawk is military-owned.

#3  Akshully, it was the North Carolina NG.. The crew has been grounded pending investigation. Note that there might have been two similar incidents, which may be causing confusion.
