The nine service members who died in a crash involving two U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopters ranged in age from 23 to 36 and were from seven states.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The nine service members who died in a crash involving two U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopters ranged in age from 23 to 36 and were from seven states, the military said Friday, as it released the identities of the soldiers and an investigative team continued its probe of the accident.
A special military investigative team was on the scene Friday but rain and wind have slowed the early work, Army officials said. The four soldiers piloting the two Black Hawks were Esparza, Smith, Barnes and Healy, according to the Army. Solinas’ dedication to being a flight medic showed his character, his brother, Aidan Solinas, said in a statement.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear on Friday ordered flags at state buildings lowered to half-staff from sunrise on Saturday until sunset Monday in honor of the soldiers.
