Army withholds name of Black Hawk helicopter crew in D.C. crash, 2 others identified

The governors of Georgia and Mississippi have identified two of the Black Hawk helicopter crew killed in a collision with a passenger airliner at Reagan National Airport on Wednesday night. They are Brooksville, Miss. native Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Eaves, whose wife has also posted about his death on Facebook and asked for "peace," and Georgia native Staff Sgt. Ryan O'Hara.

A U.S. military official told NPR on Friday that at the request of the family the Army is not going to release the name of the female member of the three-person helicopter crew. The official was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

The withholding of the name is a highly unusual move. The identity of the third crew member has already drawn intense scrutiny online.
