Blackhawk crash
This morning on the way to work I heard that a Alabama soldier was the one of the 12 dead in the Blackhawk helicopter crash in Iraq a few days ago. Towards the tail end of the report I THOUGHT I heard them say his name was Jefferson and he was from Marengo County. I was kinda in a fog half listening and half driving and Im not sure. They could have said Jefferson County but I could have sworn it was Marengo. Anyone have info on the subject??

Re: Blackhawk crash
I heard the same thing on Channel 12 this morning. He was from Jefferson and I believe they said was based out of Fort Carson, CO.

Helicopter Crash Killed Three Ft. Carson Soldiers
Helicopter Crashed Near Town Of Tal Afar Over Weekend
Save It Email It Print It
(AP) FORT CARSON, Colo Three soldiers based at Fort Carson were among 12 Americans killed in a crash of a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter over the weekend, the Department of Defense announced Tuesday.

Those killed were with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment based at the Army post outside of Colorado Springs. They were identified as: Maj. Douglas A. Labouff, 36, of California; Capt. Michael R. Martinez, 43, of Missouri; and 1st Lt. Joseph D. deMoors, 36, of Jefferson, Ala. Labouff was a military intelligence officer, while Martinez was with the Judge Advocate General's Corps, base spokeswoman Karen Linne said. Hometowns were not released for Labouff or Martinez.

DeMoors was with the regiment's 3rd Squadron.

The Black Hawk, which crashed near the Iraqi town of Tal Afar, belonged to a unit from the Alaska Army National Guard, said Brig. Gen. Craig Christensen of the Alaskan unit.

It was flying soldiers from Mosul to a location near Tal Afar.

The cause of the crash was not immediately known, though Christensen said the weather was "not optimal" at the time it went down.

It was the deadliest helicopter crash in Iraq since about a year ago when a CH-53 Sea Stallion went down in bad weather in western Iraq, killing 31 U.S. service members.

Re: Blackhawk crash
It almost seems like we've lost just as many from these crashes. So very sad.

I believe if you'll read LPL's post it states that the young man was 1st Lt. Joseph D. deMoors of Jefferson. We need to all keep his family in our prayers during this terrible time.

I can't find a name of similarity in the telephone book (which, in itself, means nothing) but there are many Jeffersons and I wonder if the release got the state incorrect. I suppose we will know eventually.
