"A spokesperson for U.S. Forces Korea tells Fox News the Marine Super Stallion CH-53E helicopter made a hard landing near South Korea's Jipo-ri Range Tuesday" As a former UH-1/UH-60 pilot, I'm pretty sure the word "crash" is way more appropriate as stated in the title of the article!

A hard landing, as in, total destruction of the aircraft and subsequent all-consuming fire?

Yes sir! Definitely a total loss -- there wasn't much left.

Glad to see there were no fatalities.

Prayers out to the wounded for a complete and speedy recovery.
