The Pave Hawk from the American air force base at Suffolk's RAF Lakenheath, crashed and fell into flooded marshland from the sky. The U.S. Army's Black Hawk( modified version) specializes in troops recovery from war zones.

The crashed took place after 7pm near the shoreline and the helicopter's wreckage can be seen over a wide area covered with shingle and marshland. The victims of the crash haven't been named yet and are still onboard the aircraft. Meanwhile, the cause of the crash is being investigated by collecting information from the mishap site.
