 Shallow-Water Osprey Crash Caused by Pilot Error, Marine Corps Finds

Military.com | 11 Sep 2017 | by Hope Hodge Seck

A Marine Corps pilot was to blame for a coastal crash of an MV-22 Osprey off the northern coast of Okinawa, Japan, last December, the service announced Monday in a brief statement.

The crash, which was initially described by the service as a shallow-water landing until images emerged of the splintered and fragmented Osprey, resulted in a brief emergency grounding of all V-22s in the Pacific for safety checks.
