Human error blamed in U.S. chopper crash
The crash of a CH-53E Super Stallion in Iraq in January this year was due to Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT).

The crew became disoriented and flew into ground. A second helicopter that was supposed to provide updated weather information failed to do so. The pilot has been removed from flying status.
