NEW: Helicopter destroys Hurricane Helene recovery supplies in Burnsville, North Carolina at a distribution site.
Locals say two black SUVs did a "slow roll" 45 minutes before the helicopter showed up.
"This evening at approximately 7:18 in Burnsville, NC an unmarked helicopter flew in and attempted to destroy the distribution area that was set up by locals for locals while I was conducting a K9 Security Round," megsbacn, a veteran volunteer said on TT.
"THIS WAS NOT ONE OF OUR HELOS! This was about 45 minutes after 2 unmarked black SUVS and a side-by-side did a slow roll at the entrance of our parking lot and left."=
"[The helicopter] was UNMARKED and it is illegal to fly unmarked helicopters. But we know SF can and does and we know some private contractors do (not sure of the legalities on that though)…"
"So who were they? Why were they here? Why were they masked up? I've done plenty of helo ops with Coast Guard helos and I know a practiced rotor wash when I see it andour pilots never masked up this way."
Readers added context
The helicopter was not unmarked. It's a Sikorsky UH-60M Black Hawk operated by the Connecticut National Guard.
Note the timestamp (23:38) in the Flight Radar screenshot is in UTC time so local Burnsville, NC time would be 7:38 p.m. EDT
