WFXL-TV, Albany, GA vs Army Helicopter
The first tower, owned by WFXL-TV in Albany, had been leaning since it was
damaged Thursday by a U.S. Army helicopter en route from Hunter Army Airfield,
near Savannah, to Fort Rucker near Dothan, Ala.
The crash, in rural Colquitt County, killed four soldiers and injured a
fifth.
The Fort Stewart soldiers were on a routine
training flight when their MH-47 Chinook helicopter clipped a wire on the tower,
according to military officials.
