I know it's wonderful isn't it? 
Me, reading the news: "I wonder if its that same aircraft"
H.P. lovecrafts eternal V-22 Osprey and it's insatiable hunger for the blood of US soldiers
Just Marines. The Osprey requires the crayon seasoning.
The CMV-22B variant went into operation with the Navy two years ago and is planned to replace the C-2 fleet.
The Armies Special Operations Wing also has some.
Crazy, Ospreys almost never crash.
Sometimes they go entire flights without intersecting the ground!
Did they crash into the water?
What the fuck are you talking about? The podcast Well There's Your Problem did a really good episode about it, this plane/helicopter/thing is a disaster.

Didn't know they'd done an episode on it though, will have to check that out, thanks.
common osprey W
Whoever designed these needs to get a medal from the dprk
When you're a V-22 minding your own business until you spot a marine and the osprey drive kicks in
The Osprey should be on a no-fly list.
Let's goooooo!!

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Three United States marines have been killed and at least five more injured after a defence aircraft crashed over the Tiwi Islands off the Northern Territory coast during a training drill.
The US Marine Corp said the MV-22B Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft was carrying 23 American personnel when it crashed during a routine training exercise about 9.30am on Sunday on the remote Melville Island, 80km north of Darwin.
It was one of two US Osprey helicopters deployed as part of a multinational training program called “Exercise Predators Run 2023”.
CareFlight and police aircraft were expected to work through the night transporting injured soldiers from the island, while the National Critical Care and Trauma Response team were triaging those evacuated in Darwin.
Royal Darwin hospital has entered a code brown – a management measure to respond to an external emergency that will put increased pressure on the facility – as more injured soldiers arrive.
The crash comes just days after Exercise Predators Run 2023 began in the Top End with soldiers from the Philippines, Indonesia and Timor-Leste.

Another thread brigaded by Hexbear's authoritarian propagandists. Maybe better to just go back to reddit at this rate.
I mean... Are they wrong? The Osprey is a piece of shit and it deserves to be called out for being one.
Lemmy.ml, you expect them to block them?
No, they're sympathetic. Maybe better to just give up on the fediverse
Complains about 'brigading' while adding nothing to the discussion and crying that people who dont agree with you exist.
Get a fucking clue or go back to reddit.
"Brigading" is reddit bullshit. Interconnected community is the entire point of Lemmy.
An instance organizing and visiting another instance in order to manipulate content is brigading.
