U.S. Chopper Crashes in Baghdad
Friday, January 28, 2005

37 Troops Killed on Deadliest Day in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq — An Army helicopter crashed in southwest Baghdad (search) on Friday night, and the fate of the crew was not immediately known, a U.S. military official said.

U.S. military officials do not believe the helicopter was hit by hostile fire, Lt. Col. James Hutton said.

The OH-58 Kiowa (search) helicopter usually carries a crew of two pilots and is unlikely to carry large numbers of passengers.

Ground units were at the scene, but the status of the crew was not immediately known, Hutton told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

Other helicopters were flying over the crash site in southwest Baghdad to provide cover for the ground search and rescue units, Hutton said.
