But it's well known locally who the victims are. Theory right now is that they flew straight into the water in thick fog and never knew what happened. What they do is dangerous, even in training, and sometimes people die, unfortunately. There will be a lot of second guessing as to whether the the op should have been cancelled due to weather.

Used to do some work right where that Blackhawk went down, very sad thing. May they all RIP.
