COLLEGE STATION, Texas - An Army helicopter taking part in a training exercise crashed Monday into a field on the campus of Texas A&M University. One crew member was killed and four others were injured, authorities said.
The UH-60 Black Hawk was carrying a crew of five — four members of the Army National Guard and one member of the ROTC staff at Texas A&M who is a recent graduate, the school said. The helicopter was taking off when it fell abruptly back to the ground on Duncan Field, an open field adjacent to Duncan Dining Hall.
The rudder on the helicopter may have failed, the university said.
