Troy Gentry Killed in One of Two Helicopter Crashes

Post by awal2049 » Sat Sep 09, 2017 12:13 am

Today, two major helicopter accidents occurred in different parts of the country. The first occurred in northeastern North Carolina at 11:30 am. One of Duke University's Life Flight medical helicopters (a Eurocopter MBB-BK) crashed in a field in Belvidere, N.C. killing all 4 on board. The helicopter was flying from Elizabeth City to Duke University Hsospital when it went down.

The second crash occurred at 1:00 pm in Medford, New Jersey. Troy Gentry of the country duo Montgomery Gentry was being flown to a show in N.J. when his helicopter crashed short of the Flying W Airport. The pilot died at the scene, and Troy died in the hospital from his injuries. He was 50 years old. Rest in peace.
