The report in the Metro quotes an eye witness as saying: "I saw a lot of smoke in the sky. It was far away from me, but I could see that it was a helicopter and it went down on the back of the mountain where I couldn’t see."

This aircraft doesn't look like it went down from a great height on the back of a mountain.

I'm dubious that this image is of the crash as CNN etc are quoting US military officals as saying it was a Black Hawk, and whilst I'm no expert, this doesn't look severe enough to have killed nine.

Of course, I could be wrong.....
