The UH-60 helicopter, more widely known as a Black Hawk, crashed in the unincorporated community of Harvest, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said in a statement, just after 3 p.m. local time along Highway 53 just south of the Alabama-Tennessee state line.
U.S. military officials said two people were on board and confirmed the helicopter belonged to the Tennessee National Guard.
Local fire crews found the helicopter on fire, Don Webster, community relations director for Huntsville Emergency Medical Services, told The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network.

Accidents can happen and sadly two dead with Black Hawk helicopter…
they should’ve ejected themselves from the cockpit. but i guess not possible due to rotor blades. sheesh
Yes, because gravity doesn’t exist…
Or, do you think they fly with a parachute strapped to their back at all times?
Bwahaha 🤣
Unfortunately this is not a Russian k52
I hope that you are either a young kid or just trolling
That’s a sad accident
Seen several Blackhawk crashes, but never a fire.
Way too many helicopters go down. You wouldn’t catch me in one. No way.
Miracle no one was killed on that highway.🙏🙏
Only the good die young
Thanks
Biden needs to do something about these crashes happening across the US right now
