All 5 Marines aboard Osprey aircraft died in crash in Imperial County, officials say

LA Times  

A U.S. Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey flies near Yuma, Ariz., last year. All five U.S. Marines aboard a military aircraft that crashed Wednesday afternoon in Imperial County were killed, officials said. The MV-22B Osprey crashed during a training mission near Glamis, officials with the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing said Thursday. “Our hearts go out to their families and friends as they cope with this tragedy.” The aircraft was based at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton with Marine Aircraft Group 39 and crashed around 12:25 p.m. near Coachella Canal Road and Highway 78. Maybe it scares the pilot, but in a V-22 a minor mistake can kill you.” In March, four North Carolina-based Marines died in another Osprey crash during a North Atlantic Treaty Organization exercise in Norway.
