Narrative:The helicopter sustained a hard landing during a night training exercise and toppled on its side.
The helicopter is used by the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR).
According to a U.S. military spokesman one crew member died and two received minor injuries in the mishap.
An Army investigation completed this summer pinned the crash on a failure in the helicopter's tail rotor. The aircraft was missing a small cotter safety pin used to hold a nut in place, and that nut came loose — disconnecting pilots' controls from the rotor, said Maj. Allen Hill, a spokesman for the Army helicopter unit.
