The two service members had been participating in what Webb described as "a routine training flight." The AH-64 Apache helicopter crashed into the water near the Bayport Cruise Terminal in the city of Pasadena, around 3:50 p.m. (4:50 p.m. ET), Webb said.
Both soldiers were from the Texas Army National Guard's 1st of the 149th Attack Helicopter Battalion. Their names cannot be released until their families are notified through proper military protocol, Webb said at a news conference Wednesday evening.

Apaches fly over the gulf right in front of where I work. They get close enough to where I can see there heads and shoulders. I wave and sometimes they wave back. I might have very briefly met those two pilots.....sad stuff
