A Soviet-made Mi-8 helicopter crashes in Afganistan
Just a few hours after I blogged about British troops having to use Soviet-made Mi-8 helicopters that drop like rocks, in Afghanistan, one of those crashed in the country and killed 16 people on board.
The helicopter crashed at the Kandahar airfield in southern Afghanistan, and also five people were injured in the crash, the BBC reports. The crash happened when the helicopter was trying to take off.
The crash is the second in a week. Six passengers died when a helicopter came down in Helmand province on Tuesday.
