Secret £1million payout to SAS soldier crippled by US helicopter
The British Ministry of Defence has secretly paid £1 million to a wounded SAS who was crushed beneath a U.S. Chinook helicopter in Afghanistan.

The incident happened in 2001 during the Qalai Janghi fort uprising. The soldier was in a vehicle waiting to be transported by the Chinook.

However the downdraft from the helicopter threw up a huge dust cloud and the crew landed on the vehicle.
