If you can use pic byline Dave McDermand..From Chris Murphy 01634 686 515..This is the horrific moment a Black Hawk went down on a university playing field killing one youngster and seriously injuring four people thought to be the flight crew...These shots were captured by local paper photographer Dave McDermand who was at the Texas A&M campus...The Black Hawk helicopter was performing training exercises on field when it crashed on takeoff...No students were on the aircraft, but the jarring accident led to the death of Zachary Cook who graduated last year...Col. William Meehan, a spokesman for the Texas Army National Guard, said the 36th Combat Aviation Brigade based out of Austin had been shuttling members of Texas A&M's Corps of Cadets between College Station and Camp Swift, a former prisoner of war camp in Bastrop County. The exercise was one they've done with the ROTC program for more than 20 years without incident, he said...Meehan said the guard unit -- which recently returned from serving in Iraq and is "highly decorated" -- was on one of five helicopters being used to transfer 190 students in what's called the Winter Field Training Exercise on Duncan Field just off George Bush Drive. ..Scot Walker, whose campus office overlooks the field, had been watching the helicopters come and go throughout the day -- exactly one week before classes were set to resume for the spring semester...He said: "It was obvious he was in trouble and not messing around. As fast as your brain could process that it crashed, it was like, holy cow, did I just see that?"..Debris from the five-ton Black Hawk littered the field and nearby street for at least 100 yards out. While someone barked the order to stay back, some cadets, along with military personnel and passersby, rushed to the aid of those onboard...Two flying in the guard helicopter remain in critical condition at the College Station Medical Center. Another was taken to a hospital in San Antonio and his condition wasn't known
