    Default Two Fmr NYC Firefighters Among Dead USAF Helicopter Crash

    Fire Marshal Christopher Zanetis and Lt. Christopher Raguso were confirmed dead along with five other service members on board the special forces helicopter when it crashed on Thursday.
    President Trump sent his condolences to the victims loved ones on Friday on Twitter, writing, “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones of the brave troops lost in the helicopter crash on the Iraq-Syria border yesterday. Their sacrifice in service to our country will never be forgotten.”
    According to the Pentagon, there were no survivors in the crash after the HH-60 Pave Hawk went down near the Syrian border.
    Military investigators say there is no sign the aircraft was shot down.

    Wonder
    why no real mention of the 5 other crew members?

    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    It was SF. Probably haven't notified all family members of the service personnel.

    They could have mentioned them though.
