Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

In Afghanistan, the Taliban is claiming to have shot down a U.S. Chinook helicopter, killing all 57 aboard.

The U.S. government is admitting that a helicopter crashed, but that only 2 Americans were killed, and they are denying that it was from enemy fire.  The government didn't say where it happened, and it didn't say that it was Chinook, but ABC News posted an image of a Chinook helicopter.

But, the Chinook is a large helicopter which usually transports a lot of troops. A previous Chinook crash resulted in the most U.S. fatalities on a single day in the Afghan War.  


"On 6 August 2011, a Chinook crashed near Kabul, killing all of the 38 aboard. It was reportedly shot down with a rocket-propelled grenade by the Taliban while attempting to assist a group of U.S. Army Rangers. The 38 were members of NATO and allied forces, including 22 Naval Special Warfare operators, five U.S. Army Aviation soldiers, three U.S. Air Force special operations personnel, and seven Afghan National Army commandos. A civilian translator and a U.S. military working dog were also killed in the crash. The crash was the single deadliest during the entire Operation Enduring Freedom campaign."

So, who is telling the truth this time? I don't know.
