Nov. 29, 2004 Black Hawk Helicopter Waco, Texas Crash
Lieff Global is representing the family
of a soldier who died in the November 29, 2004 crash of a Black
Hawk U.S. Army Helicopter that tragically killed seven servicemen
on active duty, including several senior officers from Fort
Hood. The UH-60 Black Hawk, bound for Texarkana, was flying
at an altitude of approximately 500 feet in dense fog when
it hit cables supporting a 1,700 foot-tall television tower
and crashed 30 miles south of Waco, Texas.
The tower's lights had been knocked
out by a storm one week prior. While the outage had apparently
been reported to the Federal Aviation Administration, and a
Notice to Airmen issued, several questions remain regarding
the sufficiency of the report and notice, the sufficiency of
markings on the cables and tower in the absence of lights,
the flight plan and weather, and the performance of the helicopter
itself. Two investigations by the U.S. Army are also currently
underway.
