ATLANTA (AP/WAOK) – A U.S. Marine from Georgia is among the dead after an aviation training accident that killed seven Marines.

Wanda Little says her son, 25-year-old Lance Cpl. Corey Little of Fayetteville, was a Huey helicopter crew chief who died in the crash this week in California.

Officials said it could take weeks to determine what caused an AH-1W Cobra and a UH-1 Huey to crash in midair during a routine exercise Wednesday night, killing all aboard the aircraft. Skies were clear and the weather was mild.

Wanda Little said her son graduated from Sandy Creek High School in 2004 and played baseball while growing up in Fayetteville.

The accident was one of the Marines’ deadliest aviation training accidents in years.

    Obama’s fat cat language may be a rfoiectlen of his administration’s concern over Main Street America’s growing anger and unrest that’s being expressed in rallies, town meetings and streets across America. The increasing ferment of the public writ large is not reported just in specialized blogs but has lately been showing up even on national broadcast media, such as the PBS Newshour (which until Dec 4 was known as The Newshour with Jim Lehrer ). This kind of trouble could escalate into trouble with a capital-T for those who rule. Maybe the democracy part of the U.S. republic is kicking in more and more to put some balance on the powers of the plutocracy represented by the military-industrial-corporate complex. Although the phrase is getting worn, it’s nevertheless worth repeating with a parenthetical modifier that we live in (very) interesting times.
