It is somewhat irrelevent at this point, but now the number is being reported as 12 total. 4 US crewman and 8 British troops. No definite cause for the crash is being reported, but it is being reported that it was not a result of enemy action.
It should not be necessary to remind everyone that information being passed on such as it is these days is very unreliable in the immediate aftermath of any event in this war. As we have all seen before the rush by the media to be the firstest with the mostest leads to highly inaccurate accounts. As the old saying goes the worst evidence is an eyewitness.
