Five Fort Sill soldiers sustained mi-
nor injuries when a cargo helicopter
burst into flames and exploded Tues-
day afternoon at Henry Post Airfield a
post official said
The engines of the ( H 47 ( hinook ■
licopter burst into flames at 1 45 p m
as its crew put the craft through a
maintenance check, Jon Long Fort s
public affairs officer said
Long said the jet engines of the heli-
copter were in operation when the
explosion occurred, but that the craft
had not left the ground
Post fire engines extinquished the
blaze within minutes and Army secu-
rity personnel immediately set up
boundaries around the site to preserve
evidence vital to a probe by an Army
investigating board
All five crew members were rushed
'o Reynolds Army Hospital for emer-
ency care, although none was injured
ieriously. Long said

few days, the Detroit News reported to-

A night club and movie star Pryor
signed with NBC for a minimum of five
weekly shows

encouraged to stay by NBC officials
Several TV stations have either
dropped the show or moved it to a late-
night spot it is scheduled for 8 p m
