A Black Hawk helicopter crashed Thursday in southern Afghanistan, likely killing all four of its crew members - all of them Americans - a U.S. military official said.
The crash occurred in bad weather, though the official said "we cannot yet rule out enemy action."
Troops at a combat outpost in the area waiting to be picked up saw the crash happen, the official said. Another helicopter flying nearby was not affected.

@US Army brat: Perfect. Absolutely, spot on perfect. My sentiments exactly, and I couldn't have said it better.
Bring the troops HOME!
My respects and condolences to the families of these soldiers.
They died in the line of duty.
That its a senseless war going nowhere, draining us of lives & national treasure though has to be debated publicly.
As also the need to restrict politicians from getting US involved in other misadventures of this kind in future. Public pressure.
Too bad U.S. military people are still not unionized like military people are in a few European countries. A labor union of U.S. military people could then collectively demand the right to refuse to be sent outside the territory of the 50 states in endless and senseless U.S. military interventions like the current endless war in Afghanistan.
Enough is enough... this "war" is unwinable... time to bring our wonderful troops home for good. Heaven help us if the Rethuglicans win in Nov., we'll never leave Afghanistan. Obama 2012!!!!
We the American people have had enough of this policy shoved down our throats. About time we make our voices heard.
One of the architects of this disaster & Iraq, Dick Cheney wanted us there for '100 years'. Hope & pray that this mind set no longer rules us.
have they released the names yet?
