That's just heartbreaking. I rode on the 53s many times. They are powerful helos, and make quite a ruckus when taking off or landing.

The actual count on the CH-53 was 30 Marines and 1 Navy...
According to last reports, it occured in a sandstorm, and not due to hostile fire.
An investigation is currently underway.
