Air Index: extremely bad (up to 125 in Sha Tin) generally over 100 in urban area
Fifteen die as US helicopter downed
Black Hawk helicopters hunted for survivors
A helicopter taking US troops to Baghdad is brought down in the deadliest anti-US attack since the war.
It is the highest number of casualties suffered by the US-led coalition in a single incident since Saddam Hussein was toppled in April.
The helicopter came down in a cornfield near the flashpoint town of Falluja, 50 kilometres (32 miles) west of the capital.
Iraqi witnesses said it was hit by one of two surface-to-air missiles fired at it, but the US military has not confirmed the cause.
One military spokesman said the helicopter was hit by an "unknown weapon", but later, the military said it might have crashed while taking evasive action.
"We are aware of eyewitnesses seeing what they presumed to be missile trails," US army Colonel William Darley told reporters.

Gay splits in Church 'will heal'
Divisions in the Anglican Church over the consecration of its first openly gay bishop, will eventually heal, the Archbishop of Canterbury has predicted.
Rowan Williams was speaking ahead of the consecration in the US on Sunday of Canon Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire.
Conservative opponents are planning to stage a protest during the service.
The archbishop said the Church was facing a "risky break" but eventually there would be reconciliation.
The archbishop - head of the Anglican Communion - believes Canon Robinson, who has lived with his male partner for 15 years, should not have been elected bishop.
Both sides in the argument were considering a "risky break with what we have thought of as orthodoxy and good order," he said on Saturday
