🚁 The U.S. Army has ordered a stand down of all its aircraft following a crash Friday involving two Apache helicopters in Alaska which left three soldiers dead and a fourth injured. It marks the third fatal helicopter crash this year.
The “stand down” is needed to ensure everything possible is done to prevent accidents and protect personnel, according to the military, although it says there is no indication of any link between the two “mishaps”.
Per McConville’s order, all active-duty aviation units must complete the stand down between Monday-Friday, May 1-5. For members of the Army National Guard and Army Reserve, they have through May 31 to carry out the stand down, due to their relative training schedules. During the stand down, the Army will conduct a review of flight mission briefing, as well as maintenance training.
The decision comes a day after three soldiers with the 1st Attack Battalion, 25th Aviation Regiment died when two AH-64 Apache helicopters collided and ultimately crashed near Healy, Alaska. Another soldier was injured and taken to a hospital. The helicopters were on their way back from a training flight when the collision occurred.
Along with Thursday’s fatal crash, the Army has had other aerial disasters this year. In March, a pair of HH-60 Black Hawk helicopters crashed in Kentucky, killing a total of nine soldiers. Both that and Thursday’s incident are under investigation. Per McConville’s statement, the Army has not found any pattern or commonality linking the two incidents.
In addition, a pair of Tennessee Army National Guard soldiers died in February when a Black Hawk helicopter crashed in Alabama and two soldiers were injured after their Apache helicopter rolled while attempting to lift off in Alaska.
The Army Isn’t the only branch to issue safety-related stand downs following deadly incidents. Last June the U.S. Navy issued a similar stand down following a series of crashes involving aircraft. That came after five mishaps in two weeks. The Marine Corps issued a similar stand down order that month following its own crashes.
“We are deeply saddened by those we have lost,” McConville added in his statement. “It is their loss that makes it all the more important we review our safety procedures and training protocols, and ensure we are training and operating at the highest levels of safety and proficiency.”

💭 Atiq Ahmed = Abiy Ahmed (Genocider PM of Ethiopia). Well, the fire gets hotter and we know that hot air rises up. During these Easter days, we are witnessing miracles that are not trivial.
🔥 Gunmen seemingly posing as journalists shot dead a former Indian member of parliament and his brother live on TV as they were being taken in handcuffs to hospital by police, authorities said.
Atiq Ahmed, 61, who had been jailed since 2019 and was convicted of kidnapping, was answering reporters’ questions late Saturday when he and his brother Ashraf were shot at close range, the television images showed.
“According to preliminary information, three persons posing as journalists approached them and opened fire… The attackers have been held and are being questioned,” police official Prashant Kumar said.
The TV clip in the northern city of Prayagraj shows the assailants shouting Hindu slogans after the brazen attack.
The two victims were from India’s Muslim minority but police did not say whether they were investigating a possible sectarian motive in the killings.
The brothers were deeply involved in India’s criminal underworld – the ex-MP was reportedly facing more than 100 different cases – and press reports said the attackers were petty criminals.

😈 Bader Alzahrani is charged for transporting a stolen New Jersey school bus across state lines.
On Jan. 15, 2023, a break-in was reported in an unoccupied residential home in Livingston, New Jersey. During a search of a backpack in that home, law enforcement saw a Saudi Arabian passport with the name Bader Alzahrani, along with other items that appeared to belong to Alzahrani. On Jan. 17, 2023, the Livingston Board of Education reported that a school bus was stolen from a parking lot across the street from the unoccupied residential home where the break-in was reported. Law enforcement officers located Alzahrani in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, and was later found to be in possession of the keys to the stolen school bus.
As noted in the article below, subsequent investigation found Alzahrani was keeping a journal with entries including:
“Allah, I am ready for your orders. I want to live the rest of my life to serve you and the religion.” “Blood, blood, destruction, destruction. Allah.” and “Jews control everything.”
Livingston police said after his arrest that Alzahrani acted alone and that there was no threat to the public.
