HEIDELBERG, Germany--A U.S. Army helicopter crash that killed six people in Italy in November was caused by mechanical malfunction and not pilot error, a military investigation has found. The incident, which prompted a check of all Black Hawk helicopters in Europe, was caused by a loss of control over the helicopter's sideways rotation, U.S. Army Europe said yesterday. The cause of the control loss was not determined, the Army said, but "there was no evidence of pilot error or environmental factors contributing to the accident."
