The Story in Brief
The US Army has temporarily grounded all AH-64 Apache helicopter training flights after a crash near Fort Hood, Texas, killed two soldiers, Times Now News reports. The stand-down will remain until officials understand the accident's root cause. Investigators from the Army Combat Readiness Center arrived Thursday.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Deontre Huey, 34, and Warrant Officer Seth Olmstead, 25, were killed. Both were assigned to Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 227th Aviation Regiment, 1st Air Cavalry Division at Fort Hood.
The Indian Opinion
Some may treat the Apache groundings as proof the helicopter is outdated, but the Army's swift stand-down signals discipline, not decay. The real test will be the root cause: a mechanical flaw or pilot error. Until then, speculation disrespects the two lives lost. Indian forces operate Apaches too; they will watch this investigation closely.
