I was deployed to Afghanistan working at Kandahar airfield about 2014. Just before I left my accommodation to start my night shift I was watching the BBC news as they were broadcasting coverage of a helicopter crash (British Lynx if I remember correctly) which was carrying around 5 people on a various missions. Obviously shocked because it was some of my guys who had been killed.

Shortly after watching I began to drive into work only to be stopped on the airfield to allow a group of helicopters to land. I remember a few body bags being offloaded from the helicopters into emergency vehicles. One thing that stood out was that the body bags just seemed to collapse as they were being carried as if whoever was in them was literally whatever could be found of them....

As I got into work I later found out those body bags contained the remains of the 5 personnel who had lost their lives. A very sobering experience.
