Official: Helicopter crashes in Afghanistan, likely killing 4 Americans

(CNN) -- A Black Hawk helicopter crashed Thursday in southern Afghanistan, likely killing all four of its crew members -- all of them Americans -- a U.S. military official said.

The crash occurred in bad weather, though the official said "we cannot yet rule out enemy action."

Troops at a combat outpost in the area waiting to be picked up saw the crash happen, the official said. Another helicopter flying nearby was not affected.

Names are released and families have been notified. They are from my Brigade. I only knew one of them. And it was not a MEDEVAC aircraft. I would know since I am in the MEDEVAC. They were the chase bird for Med.
