The Black Hawk helicopter crew who hovered low over a Hurricane Helene recovery site in Burnsville, North Carolina and wrecked havoc to the aid operation with their rotor wash were grounded, pending a North Carolina National Guard investigation.
“The North Carolina National Guard (NCNG) is aware of an incident involving a NCNG UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter during a delivery of generators at the request of a local civilian organization to power their distribution outpost in western North Carolina. While attempting to land, rotor wash caused items to blow away from the local distribution set up by a group of civilians in the area. The crew immediately identified the situation, aborted the landing for safety reasons, and departed the area. This incident is currently under investigation and the crew has been grounded until the investigation is complete. The NCNG is working with the identified local civilian organization to assess the level of damage caused by the rotor wash,” the North Carolina National Guard said on Facebook Tuesday. “Safety is the NCNG’s number one priority, especially with the high volume of air operations currently happening across the region. While the NCNG strives for precision in every mission, sometimes things don’t go as planned. When that happens, the NCNG takes it very seriously and are committed to addressing and correcting any issues to prevent future occurrences.”

Interestingly, the incident was preceded by suspicious activity by two cars.
“According to one report, the incident came only 40 minutes after the civilian aid site was allegedly ‘slow rolled’ by a pair of suspicious black SUVs,” Jared Harris said in The Western Journal on Tuesday.
