The US has launched the identities of six crew members killed throughout the crash of a refueling plane in Iraq this week.
The Pentagon mentioned the six members killed within the accident on Thursday have been: John “Alex” Klinner, 33, of Auburn, Alabama; Ariana Savino, 31, of Covington, Washington; Ashley Pruitt, 34, of Bardstown, Kentucky; Seth Koval, 38, of Mooresville, Indiana; Curtis Angst, 30, of Wilmington, Ohio; and Tyler Simmons, 28, of Columbus, Ohio.
They died when a KC-135 aerial refuelling plane crashed in western Iraq, with the US officers saying that “the loss of the aircraft was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.”
While Klinner, Savino and Pruitt have been members of the US Air Force, Koval, Angst and Simmons have been stationed with the US Air National Guard.
