Crash

2 More Helicopter "Crashes" in Iraq ( Mosul)


Calling these events "crashes" is ludicrous. The helicopters are in a war zone, they're most likely being shot down, not falling out of the sky. To treat these events with the spin "Now, we don't know what happened exactly, and we don't want to be alarmist, so let us get to the bottom of this before we mislead anyone..." is like calling a corpse in a casket a "man who fell down".
