Four die in crash of Marine helicopters in Texas

[Grasshopper27]

Two military helicopters crashed while helping the Border Patrol in a drug case, killing all four Marines on board.

Shame, my condoliences to their families.

Nice to know we're finally using our military abilities to patrol our borders however...

I guess this was a midair collision? I don't see how they'd both crash, otherwise.

Yea, I guess they crashed into each other.

Shame, but good to know they are doing their jobs. Sucks to be their familes right now however.

Isn't that illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act?
