[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Staff Sgt. Vincent P. Marketta, 33, of Brick, New Jersey, and Sgt. Tyler M. Shelton, 22, of San Bernardino, California were identified as fatalities in training accident

A 15T UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter crashed during what the military says was 'routine training' on San Clemente Island off the Southern California coast

Marketta and Shelton were part of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne), an elite unit also known as 'Night Stalkers'

The 160th SOAR (A) took part and provided cover for special forces in the 2011 mission in Pakistan that killed Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden

#2 This is a hazard of the dangerous missions Night Stalkers do. It is tragic. But Night Stalkers Don't Quit. My condolences go out to the families that lost a loved one.

#3 From what I've read, nothing about their training is routine.
