Two people were hurt when a helicopter went down at the Army’s main training base in south Alabama.

But photos and videos from new outlets showed an Army helicopter lying on its ride side with significant damage at a base landing field.
Fort Rucker is the Army’s primary training facility for helicopter pilots. The incident involved an AH-64 Apache helicopter with a crew conducting flight training, according to a statement from the base.
