North Carolina National Guard, Rotor Wash Incident, Burnsville

The North Carolina National Guard issued an apology after a helicopter pilot accidentally damaged a civilian donation center in Burnsville.

Major General Todd Hunt confirmed the crew has been grounded pending an investigation into the lack of coordination with local law enforcement.
