leonardtown. just a few moments ago, i talked by phone with a witness. >> my sister and i were hanging up the flags on our flag pole and we saw this helicopter flying, it's a high traffic area, and in one of them just started to lower and started to spiral down, and it disappeared below the trees, it looked like it had flipped over upside down and then we heard a big explosion come. >> that explosion was obviously the plane going down. all of this is still unfolding, we have team coverage of this situation there in maryland. >> beginning with news4's darcy spencer who is live right now in leonardtown. darcy? >> reporter: good afternoon, we are here on society hill road in leonardtown in st. mary's county. behind me the golf course w

that crash landing this afternoon. this is the breton bay golf course. we're being kept at a very far distance from the actual scene where the investigation is taking place, but this gives you an idea. we have photos, we do have video of the scene. this is a photo from baynet.com, a reporter was able to get close to the wreckage when it happened. also our chopper 4 was able to get some images of the scene from a distance. this is a black hawk helicopter that made a hard landing just before 2:00 this afternoon. we understand that there were three people on board this helicopter. one person was airlifted to the hospital. we don't have any update at this point on their conditions. if we can go ahead and show you the scene here as i'm speaking a little bit. if you look off in the distance, there's a helicopter that's continuing to circle around this area. we're not sure why, but we're seeing other helicopters come through the area. this chopper in

crashed this afternoon is based at fort belvoir in fairfax county. we're working to find out why this happened. you heard that witness talk a little bit about what happened, what she was able to see, what she was able to hear about the spinning and that explosion. there's a media staging area a couple of miles from here. we have another crew over there. we're expecting to get a briefing a little bit later on this afternoon. a spokesperson for the army, so we hope to find out more information about why this happened and especially information about the people on board the helicopter. no word on their conditions at this point. we'll send it back to you. >> thank you, darcy. again, one of them, at least one of them, airlifted to a hospital. our team coverage continues now with scott macfarlane. scotty, for folks who aren't familiar with this aircraft, tell us what we're dealing with here. >> it's not terribly uncommon to see black hawk helicopters in our areas, the uh-60s have a major

washington, d.c. area. this one is associated with fort belvoir. they're a major presence at fort belvoir, and it includes army helicopters. they have a very important mission in our area, they fly vips to and from the pentagon and the greater d.c. region. they're parts of important ceremonies, funerals at arlington national cemetery, at recruitment efforts at schools. it's not uncommon to see mishaps with these helicopters because they're work horses, flown nationwide and in missions overseas. there was a hard landing in okinawa two years ago, a crash months ago in kentucky. they're a major presence in u.s. military aircraft, and the military and congress plan on spending a billion dollars more of these helicopters, they're so important to the u.s. military. >> and i think the army just did its test fli
