REPORT RELEASED ON FINDINGS OF FATAL FT. CAMPBELL HELICOPTER CRASH IN DECEMBER 2015

A new report finally being released blames the crash of a military helicopter which took two Ft. Campbell soldier’s lives, on equipment malfunction. The flight on Dec. 2, 2015, was a routine training mission for 32-year-old Kevin Weiss, and 35-year-old Alex Caraballo-Leon. According to The Leaf-Chronicle, the report says the piece of equipment failed or didn’t work at all because it wasn’t installed properly. The report places the blame on three other soldiers for the crash. Their names were not released. The report also shows the helicopter had only flown 50 total hours, and an inspection was done just weeks before the crash. It also states that Weiss, who was a helicopter inspector and repairman, did not meet performance standards. The Army says they are responding to the accident report and making improvements.
