Deletion of CH-46 shootdown in Iraq (February 2007)

Comment: Indeed tragic, but combat losses in a war are expected, and therefore for an incident to carry ''encyclopedic'' |notability (for any newbies who might read this, such notability is related only to the inclusion in the encyclopedia, and does not reflect on the value or importance of the lives lost), there needs to be something that sets this loss apart from the "norm". The article does not point out any such significant factors. The only thing I can see about this one that even landed it here was the fact that imagery exists of the attack, however the mere fact that someone caught the incident on pixels does not render it notable. That being said, and since my brother frequently rides on CH-47s in Iraq, special condolences go out to the families of those killed
