[Carol Lin, Cnn Anchor:] But right now, we begin in Iraq tonight, where it's been another bloody weekend. Insurgents keep challenging the American presence there. And there are worldwide implications. Here at home, Fort Campbell, Kentucky is mourning the loss of 17 of its own, killed in that helicopter collision in northern Iraq. And that is where we begin tonight's coverage with CNN's Brian Cabell in Fort Campbell, Kentucky Brian?
[Brian Cabell, Cnn Correspondent:] Good evening, Carol. The mood here at Fort Campbell, as you might expect, is somber tonight. It's difficult enough to deal with one or two deaths at an Army installation, but dealing with 17, the 17 who were killed in that collision of the two Blackhawks yesterday in Iraq, extremely difficult. Nine of those 17 have now been identified. Their families have been notified. And the mother and fiance of one of them, specialist Eugene Uhl spoke about him earlier this evening.
[John Uhl, Mother:] When we sent packages to him, he also told us to send candy because he gave candy to the kids. And any packages that we'd send, he gave shared them.
[Unidentified Female:] Yes, he shared them with all his friends and the kids.
[Cabell:] 20,000 soldiers from here at Fort Campbell are now deployed in Iraq. Only a couple thousand left behind. Also left behind are the families. Families have a difficult time. We talked to the wife of one of the soldiers earlier this evening about this recent crash.
[Unidentified Female:] I did hear about it. I don't watch the news.
[Cabell:] Why don't you watch the news?
[Unidentified Female:] Well, he flies on a Blackhawk. So I just don't want to hear the bad news. I just avoid watching news. When I was watching it, I was constantly worrying. And it just I mean, it wasn't really good for me mentally and emotionally, so.
[Cabell:] No plans set up here yet on Fort Campbell as installation tomorrow, but we are expecting to hear from some high ranking officer, along with a chaplain, also a family readiness group officer to detail exactly how they are dealing with the loss of these 17 soldiers Carol?
[Lin:] Many questions in that investigation. Thank you very much, Brian Cabell. USE OUR SECURE ONLINE ORDER FORM LOCATED AT www.fdch.com
