Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:02:46 GMT

ISLAMABAD (AP) — An Afghan military helicopter crashed in the country’s north Sunday after hitting a power line base, killing at least two crewmembers, the Defense Ministry said. The MD-530 chopper was patrolling in the area after it took off from northern Balkh province and crashed in the Kholim district in Samangan province, a ministry statement said.Officials said the chopper hit the base of a high voltage power line before crashing.It’s unclear how many helicopters, including U.S. choppers, are in the hands of the Taliban-run government.

The conflict ended with the departure of foreign troops from Afghanistan in 2021. Helicopter airstrikes inflicted heavy casualties among the Taliban and...

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:02:46 GMT

Memorial Day traditionally has been the first real mile marker in the long baseball season, in spite of its relative insignificance in a six-month marathon.In lieu of baseball’s ongoing quest to speed things up, we’ve decided to change that arbitrary milestone to May 21, more or less the quarter pole of the season. Coincidentally, that’s also the date for this week’s Sunday baseball smorgasbord.Reality bitesVeteran TV sports director Marc Brady once said interest in Chicago Cubs telecasts weren’t necessarily dependent on the team’s place in the standings.“The funny thing is the team’s record does not play as much into what’s interesting as one would think, because it’s a reality show and every day is different regardless,” Brady said. “You could have a really good team that wins by 10 runs every game and be boring.”We won’t be able to test that theory this season.
