Marine shopper goes down { May 20 2003 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.woodtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=1285862&nav=0RceFv06 http://www.woodtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=1285862&nav=0RceFv06 Marine chopper goes down in Iraq (Baghdad, Iraq-AP, May 20, 2003, 7:23 a.m.) At least five people are believed to be dead after the crash of a Marine helicopter in central Iraq. The military says there were at least four crew members aboard the CH46 Sea Knight helicopter that crashed near Karbala -- and apparently no one survived. A fifth service member drowned while trying to rescue the victims from a canal where the chopper went down. All signs right now point to an accident -- officials say there's nothing to indicate the helicopter was downed by hostile fire. (Copyright 2003 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
