All four of the soldiers on board were evacuated. Two of them were described as "injured" and being treated at Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs. The other two were checked out at the hospital as a precaution, but were expected to be released Wednesday night.
Very good news considering the potential outcome for this type of event.


At the time of the accident, the Black Hawk was on a routine training mission on U.S. Forest Service land in Douglas County when it was involved in an accident. Fort Carson officials said the helicopter suffered a hard landing as a result.
"A hard landing"? I've experienced hard landings in helo's; this was a crash.

Curious about the whole "was involved in an accident" which "resulted" in the "hard landing". There's more to this story.
