It is known that the UH-60 Black Hawk multi-purpose helicopter of the United States was heading to one of the military bases for conducting exercises.
The National Guard under command reports that the last signal from the rotorcraft was received 9 minutes after takeoff. After that, the helicopter disappeared from the radar screens, and his searches were organized. As a result, the place of the fall was discovered - this field is in 95 km northwest of Minneapolis. The helicopter fragments were on a snowy arable land.
According to the preliminary version, the helicopter could touch the wires of the power line and catch fire in the air. If this is so, then for some reason it is not said for what purpose the helicopter made a sharp decrease (to the height of the power transmission line) on the route section.
The National Guard base is located in the area of St. Cloud Airport. It operates Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters. This year marks 10 years since the deployment of the helicopter base in Minnesota.
