"Two military helicopters collided over the California desert during nighttime training exercises, killing seven Marines in the latest of several aircraft accidents involving Camp Pendleton troops.

The crash happened around 8 p.m. Wednesday and involved an AH-1W Cobra that carries two crew members and a UH-1 Huey utility helicopter carrying the other five service members"

Damn.

RIP Marines....

Salute and Rest in Peace Marines . . .

Thank you for your service to this nation.

This is such a sad story. On the local news last night they interviewed one of the widows of one of the Marines that got killed. She just found out she was pregnant in January . Another Marine was recently engaged. Just a horrible situation. RIP Marines.
