Two members of the FBI’s elite counterterrorism unit died Friday while practicing how to quickly drop from a helicopter to a ship using a rope, the FBI announced Monday in a statement.
The statement gave few details regarding the deaths of Special Agents Christopher Lorek and Stephen Shaw, other than to say the helicopter encountered unspecified difficulties and the agents fell a “significant distance.”
Last month, the team was involved in the arrest of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings. And in February, it rescued a 5-year-old boy held hostage for six days in an underground bunker in Alabama.
“Whenever things go really wrong, the FBI calls in the Hostage Rescue Team. It’s the government’s 911,” Coulson said.

Forgot the "using a rope" part.
ReplyDeleteOK this is starting to sound like a conspiracy or something.
ReplyDeleteLets see, there are 4 out of five people connected to the Tsarnaev bombing
with intimate knowledge of what happened, who are now dead.
One of them a person who was in the process of making a full confession
and telling all he knew. One who had surrendered to police and was being
handcuffed. The arresting officers would have died too except for fast reactions.
And finally, two officers who got the only living witness out of the boat.
Is that it, if you know too much about this case, you have to die?
:)Evidently.
DeleteThey were terminated. Just as Pat Tillman, Chris Kyle, Col Job Price, Seal Team IV, etc...
ReplyDeleteThey was terminated to silence them.
Don't know, but I would believe anything from this administration.
ReplyDeleteThey got on Obammys "hit list" real fast. I can see an accident for one.......but two? Yeah right.
