Apache helicopter crash near Houston kills 2 Army National Guard soldiers

Just checked Trump's propaganda Channel [url=http://www.RT.com]www.RT.com[/url] and
there have chosen to omit from the front page, the story of how the TU-152 co-pilot apparently pulled up the flap handle
instead of the gear handle, at least that's the way the translation appears to read. If you use "flap" in their search engine, it
claims the flap story was "leaked".


Its another example of RT show their true colours, choosing or omitting their "news"  stories out of paranoia and their strict "news" guidelines.
They shoot themselves in the foot every day when it comes to credibility.


Notice the difference, "Apache helicopter crash" goes to the top, (its about a foreign government) while their military, TU152 story  goes missing literally.

Two Army National Guard servicemen have been found dead after an AH-64 apache helicopter crash-landed into Galveston Bay, Texas, 25 miles southeast of Houston.[/font][/size]
[size=1.5em]Army officials confirmed Wednesday that two soldiers who took off from Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base were found by Coast Guard divers hours after the accident occurred. [/size]

[size=1.5em]Officials have not been willing to give any more details until a full investigation into the incident has been conducted.[/size]




[size=1.5em]“All we know is that all our pilots are highly trained, highly qualified veterans that have been flying this aircraft for many years.” Master Sergeant Sean Cowher told reporters, according to [color=rgb(4, 79, 170)][url=http://www.click2houston.com/news/autho ... rdin-beach]KPRC[/url][/color]. “It was just a routine flight”[/size]
[font=segoe ui][size=1.5em]Local news organizations on the ground have confirmed that one of the soldiers was from Houston, while the other was from out of town.[/size][/font]

[size=1.35em][font=segoe ui]According to the [color=rgb(4, 79, 170)][url=http://nbc4i.com/2016/12/28/apache-heli ... r-houston/]Associated Press[/url][/color][/font][/size], witnesses said that the aircraft was flying unusually low and broke apart in the air.

[size=1.35em][font=segoe ui]Eyewitness photos from Heliweb also show parts of the helicopter’s main rotor hub and blades, which “impacted the ground and came to rest on the ground close to the water where the helicopter sat almost fully submerged upside down in Galveston Bay with just its landing gear visible above the surface.”[/font]

There's a "remove formatting" button in the editor.

Thank you

Its a newer thing, the news sites embed formatting into their posts so when you just cut and paste it tries to import that formatting over to here. like Napoleon said if you use the remove formatting button (second from right) that will fix it.

This is something that has been beyond my skill to curtail, im seeking a more elegant solution.

Got it, second button from right.
Now, do you hit the button before or after you paste.
