| Marine Killed in Copter Crash in Iraq |
| 2006-12-04 |
| A Marine helicopter carrying 16 people made an emergency landing in a lake in a volatile province west of Baghdad, killing one and leaving three missing, the military said Monday. Twelve passengers survived the crash Sunday in Anbar province, according to a statement. The military said a Marine was pulled from the water but attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful, while three other service members were listed as "duty status unknown." The military said the incident did not appear to be due to enemy action but was still being investigated. |

| #4 The CH 47 is use today is the D model. It does not leak or come apart at the seams like the old A and B models. It is the only aircraft that can operate at 14,000 feet with any cargo or pax. The 46 is still a troubled aircraft. Its replacement, CV 22, is even worse. |
