摘要

For those working at the headquarters of Operation Resolute Support in Afghanistan, the five-minute helicopter flight from Kabul Airport to the NATO headquarters in Afghanistan was as regular as a subway ride. That all changed on Oct. 11, 2015, when a series of miscalculations, bad luck, inaccurate assumptions, and a soccer game caused a Royal Air Force Puma transport helicopter to crash, killing five of the nine people onboard, including two US airmen.
