8 U.S. troops killed, another 14 injured in helicopter crash in Afghanistan

By Abdullah AlShihri and Noor Khan · Monday, Feb. 19,2007 12 a.m.

A U.S. helicopter suffered a “sudden, unexplained loss of power” and crashed Sunday in southeastern Afghanistan, killing eight American troops, the military said. Fourteen people on board survived. A NATO spokesman denied the helicopter had been shot down, saying the pilot had radioed ahead to report engine problems. It was the deadliest U.S. crash in Afghanistan since last May. The CH-47 Chinook helicopter was carrying 22 U.S. service members under overcast skies when there was a “sudden, unexplained loss of power and control and crashed,” U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. David Accetta said. The 14 survivors suffered injuries.

Student play features music of Foo Fighters

By Nick Mills and Nicholas Mills · Monday, Feb. 19,2007 12 a.m.

After three years, senior Codey Girten finally saw his musical take the stage of the Buskirk-Chumley Theater last week. “February Stars: The Foosical” is a college love story based on the music of alternative rock band the Foo Fighters. Girten, the director, created the rock musical for his senior project as part of the Individualized Major Program. “There hasn’t been a single part of the process that’s been a downer,” Girten said. The Brewskies, a cover band from Louisville, Ky., performed the songs. The band attracted quite a few hard-core Brewskies fans that came up from Louisville just to watch them perform.
