Black Hawk towed away from Bucharest square

(15 Jul 2021) Residents and office workers in central Bucharest were greeted by the strange site of a US military helicopter being towed away surrounded by a motorcade of emergency vehicles on Thursday.
Military personnel were seen working on the helicopter and eventually managed to fold away the propellers before a small green tow truck started it on it's return journey.
The area where the craft had become stranded filled up with evening traffic as workers and locals made their journeys back home.
The helicopter, which landed near the Arc De Triumph in Romania’s capital, was one of several aircraft training Thursday in preparation for a military parade set to take place next week to mark the end of the Romanian Army’s military missions in Afghanistan.
The helicopter reportedly lost altitude over the capital and traffic police cleared an area of vehicles and pedestrians at Charles de Gaulle Square in time for the landing.
It’s not yet clear what caused the incident, which is being investigated.
There had been no casualties.
Romania - which became a member of NATO in 2004 - has participated in Afghanistan military missions for 19 years with more than 32,000 troops. It repatriated its last 140 troops from the country at the end of May.
