Technical Malfunction Helicopter Crash

The initial investigation into the cause of the helicopter crash that occurred Monday morning is focusing on the possibility that the crash was caused by a technical malfunction.

The investigation is being conducted by the air force.

Initial reports suggested that the Apache helicopter crashed when it hit an electrical wire.

The possibility that the helicopter crash was caused by a shoulder fired missile has almost been completely ruled out due to the high altitude at which the helicopter was flying at the time of the accident.

Two pilots were killed in the accident.
