Nine feared lost in second helicopter crash

Contact was lost yesterday with an Army Black Hawk helicopter flying sorties as it prepared to evacuate the bodies of five Army personnel killed in the crash of another chopper on July 11 near the Thai-Burma border. The Black Hawk that disappeared yesterday had nine, including VIP passengers, on board.
In addition to four crew members, the five passengers were the commander of the elite 9th Infantry Division, Maj-General Tawan Ruengsri, the chief of the evacuation operation, and Channel 5 cameraman Sornchai Khongtannukool, along with two captains.
Speaking to the media late last night, the commander of the First Army Area, Lt-General Udomdej Sritabutr, said the incident was very likely a crash, possibly a direct hit on the ground or into a hillside as a result of poor visibility due to bad weather.
First Army Area spokesman Colonel Thammanoon Withee came up later with possible good news, saying that Thai search parties had met up with Burmese soldiers who gave vague and unconfirmed details about "the Black Hawk possibly not crashing, but making an emergency landing somewhere". No further details were available at press time last night.
Udomdej grounded all helicopter flights, and ordered ground search parties to approach the probable site of the crash on foot. They could spend up to five days to reach map grid NQ243118, near Mai Daeng Mountain in Phetchaburi's Kaeng Krachan district, where the Black Hawk lost radio contact.
He confirmed the loud bang, which he said sounded like the Sikorsky UH-60L Black Hawk hitting the ground or a hillside, "similar to the sound heard in the UH-1H helicopter crash" last week. He dismissed a theory about the loud bang being hostile ground fire.
"As long as we have not seen the bodies [of all nine people on board the Black Hawk], I still have hopes of some of them surviving, and am saying prayers that some of them make it," he said.
Speaking before taking the second flight yesterday morning, Tawan vowed to bring home all five bodies, as he had promised personally to their relatives.
He recounted a similar horror his unit faced several years ago, when the commander, along with members of his staff, were all killed in a helicopter crash, also along Thai-Burmese border.
Speaking in an interview before piloting the flight, first pilot Major Praphan Jiamsoongnern said Tawan had carefully planned the evacuation, by using two smaller helicopters to fly through breaks in the clouds to get to Ton Nam Phet base where the bodies are.
The other plan was to have the Black Hawk hover over the Tanao Sri mountain range above the fog, then go directly to the base when the sky was clearer. A cloud-seeding operation was also prepared to draw away fog and clouds over the area, Praphan said, but it had not been used by the time the Black Hawk disappeared.
The three other crewmembers are second pilot Major Choophan Phollawan and mechanics Sgt-Major Somkhid Wongtasaeng and Sergeant Aram Phongsing. The other three passengers are Captains Jes Sukjai and Jakkraphan Bamrungphuet and Sergeant Itthisak Hinasut.

Maj-General Tawan Reungsri, right, who is among the nine people on board the missing Black Hawk that went to recover five bodies of Saturday's helicopter crash in Phetchaburi,...
