Thanks Mark. Best wishes to the injured. These things scare the be-jivesus out of me.

The tower is at this time still standing.

A Navy mine-sweeper helicopter MAY have hit it - details are sketchy. 
KRISTV.COM and caller.com  (Local TV-6 and paper) still do not say the 
tower was struck. There is a local squadron of mine-sweepers, at CC 
Naval Air Station; they were flying a training mission.

There was one survivor taken to a local hospital in critical condition. 
The other 3 crew have not been identified pending notification of next 
of kin.
