Abstract
On March 1997, two helicopters carrying Israeli troops to routine military tasks in South Lebanon collided, killing 73 soldiers. The heavy toll exacted by the accident threw the country into deep grief and mourning; expressions of national solidarity as well as of a momentary unity could be felt all over. The event, dubbed in public discourse as the “helicopters’ disaster,” evoked two seemingly con tradictory responses.
