MV 22 Osprey losing control and crashing into USS Green Bay killing 3 marines

On August 5, 2017, a United States Marine Corps MV22 Osprey assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, took off from the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard and headed for the USS Green Bay as part of an exercise when, with almost no warning, everything went sideways. The Osprey struck the USS Green Bay and crashed in Shoalwater Bay on the east coast of Australia. Although a heroic effort resulted in the rescue of twentythree personnel, there had been twentysix aboard the accident aircraft. By the end of jointUS and Australian Navy recovery operations, three marines were confirmed dead. , MV22Osprey, ussgreenbay
