There were no injuries or deaths in this accident. The pilots are facing criminal charges. The troops on the ground were narrowly missed. AH-64 Apache
crashed in Sharana, Afghanistan.
No, the Apache would not explode. It's designed to take moderate damage. When it crashes all fuel systems shut off immediately. It wasn't the pilot's
fault in the video, has to do with the lack of air quality in the mountains plus the fresh snow fall, he was performing a maneuver that would have put
him back on target (had there actually have been one) it's a common thing learned in training. And sorry this has been posted a couple times

You know by grabbing the chopper without having the skills to use it you put a huge penalty on your team :/ some players have whole sets and
groups designed for air fleets and now everyones waiting for the respawn :'(
Although that whole situation is exactly what comes to mind when watching this vid hahaha
