CADIZ, Ky. — An aviation safety team from the U.S. Army Combat Readiness Center has confirmed that the black boxes from the two Black Hawk helicopters involved in last week's deadly crash have been recovered and that the flight data has been sent to Fort Rucker, Alabama, for further analysis.
"We cannot provide a timeline as to when the investigation will be completed," Lt. Col. Tony Hoefler, spokesman for the 101st Airborne Division said."The duration of the investigation is determined by the thorough analysis of all factors."
The soldiers posthumously promoted were Corporal Emilie Marie Eve Bolanos who was promoted to Sergeant, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Zachary Espinoza who was promoted to Chief Warrant Officer 3, and Warrant Officer 1 Aaron Healy who was promoted to Chief Warrant Officer 2, according to a statement from the 101st Airborne Division .
The Black Hawk helicopters from the 101st Airborne Division -- one with five on board and another with four on board -- were on a"routine training mission" when they crashed at about 10 p.m. on March 29, Army officials said. The helicopters were"flying a multi-ship formation under night vision goggles," officials said.
