Fatal Flaw in Fort Hood's Skies The crash of an Apache helicopter in a field near Fort Hood in Salado, Texas, has resulted in the deaths of two soldiers, raising questions about the safety record of the US military's most advanced aircraft.
The AH 64 fleet has a history of mechanical failures and human errors. Just a few miles from one of the Army's largest bases, this incident highlights the risks faced by those stationed at Fort Hood.
