UPDATE: Apparently somebody showed some sense (probably the military not the media, but still) and did not let this story get out until the matter was already resolved. The incident, per the current CNN story happened at 8:30 EST this morning. They were picked up, motored into Kabul, and winging off to Turkey before the story hit the wires. Everything else I said still applies though.
This is shaping up to be a fucking movie plot. I hope. That would be the best outcome anyway. Headline banner at CNN:
Snowstorm forces helicopter carrying U.S. Sens. Joe Biden, Chuck Hagel and John Kerry to make an emergency landing in Afghanistan.
Offices (Kerry’s anyway) say that this “forced landing” was indeed due to weather, all aboard are safe and cozy, no gunfire involved, etc.
Guys, guys, guys. Read more
