An Apache helicopter was taking enemy fire and they have lost contact. Pray for the soldiers.

I think the apache is rated for something like a 6-g crash and still have the crew survive.

Some idiot on FOX las night called the Apache the U-16.

I hate dumbass newscasters who can't even read their teleprompters.

Someone on the radio called it a 'patriarch' missile system...

and surely anyone who played Desert Strike on the Megadrive/Genesis knows the Apache is an AH-64, right?

I can picture it now, different networks racing to get the scoop that 'a' helicopter was taking fire and went down. Please. We don't need a play by play on everything. In war, this is, unfortunately for the loved ones of the crew, small potatoes. Next up, color commentators.
