@Jen60242397Jen That’s the fifth Osprey crash since June 2022 and each one costs ~$80 million. Prayers for the crew 🙏🏻

Ospreys were the only new thing that the marines ever got, and sadly the worst flying thing currently in service. Those things wreck ALL the time.

Marines need to swap their osprey for the Avatar version heli!

What were they doing there, and why did they crash? They don't just crash for no reason. Starting to see these losses more, and nothing from the media.

The Osprey is the poster child for what happens when you push a turd design through.

Oh no. Praying that they find survivors. 🙏

‌This is an epic military aircraft but it has a bad record of accidents.

Worst helicopter in the marine corps fleet. Prayers for those onboard 🙏

Oh no 😥 I hope they survive
