Military helicopters collide in Colombia (Tuesday)

Death toll tonight seven, four or five survivors. One of the dead was a Colombian Army general, commander of a joint task force that was on the way to attack FARC positions. One of the helos was a large army aircraft, the other a small Bell chopper, apparently a spotter for the army. They took off at the same time from a soccer field and for some reason smashed into each other.
