Nearly two dozen U.S. Army soldiers have been injured after a large tent collapsed on site at Fort Hunter Liggett (FHL) in California.
The army said that a landing UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter was the cause of the incident, which happened at approximately 9:30 p.m. on July 18. The helicopter’s rotor wash “blew over a tent structure” inside the military base.
