Fierce tail winds most probable cause of Afghan crash, Bono tells Congress
Spanish Defense Minister José Bono told Congress representatives that high winds, rugged terrain and a low-level flight path probably caused the fatal crash of a Spanish army helicopter in Afghanistan last week.
The pilot of a second Cougar flying behind mistaken the explosions from the crash as an attack and took evasive action. By swerving left, the second helicopter also met the wind and crashed.
