On Thursday, November 12, 20202, eight international peacekeepers, including six Americans, lost their lives serving our country during a reconnaissance mission when their UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter crashed in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. There was one survivor, an American, who has been hospitalized in serious condition. While the crash investigation is in its early stages, preliminary reports indicate a mechanical failure may have been one of the contributing causes of the crash. Often, aviation disasters are the result of a multitude of causes, any one of which could have prevented the crash.

Even though this crash occurred in Egypt, the sole survivor and families of those who perished have the right to bring their claims and file civil actions in the United States for many reasons, including the fact that the UH-60 helicopter was designed and manufactured in the U.S.
