The cause of the
crash of the AH-64 Apache helicopter, some 25 miles (40 km)
southeast of Houston, was not known.
The two men who were killed were pilots from a helicopter
battalion at Ellington Field in Houston, a CBS affiliate
reported.
The names of those killed have not been released.
The crash did not affect navigation in the Houston Ship Channel,
which links the busiest U.S. petrochemical port to the Gulf of
Mexico, the Houston Pilots Association said.
