UAV crashes near Casey
1/4 million down the drain! A remote-controlled plane crashed near Camp Casey on Thursday night during what U.S. Forces Korea officials described as a routine training mission.
The Shadow 200 Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle’s engine probably failed soon after its 10:30 p.m. takeoff. The cause of the accident remained under investigation, according to a USFK news release.
The plane crashed into the tree-covered mountains north of the base and has yet to be recovered, said 8th Army spokesman Lt. Col. B.J. Bailey.
“We have a fix on where we lost contact,” Bailey said. “It’s tough terrain out there, but it’s only a matter of time.”
