US Navy Aircraft Carrying 11 Crashes In Pacific, 8 Recovered

Three people remained missing Wednesday after a U.S Navy plane crashed in the Philippine Sea shortly after takeoff from the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, as early indications point to some kind of engine failure as the cause of the mishap, multiple defense officials told Fox News.

Eight people who were on board the C-2 cargo plane were rescued in “good condition” by U.S. Navy helicopters, according to a statement from the U.S. Navy’s 7th fleet. The aircraft crashed about 575 miles southeast of Okinawa as it was heading from Japan to the aircraft carrier.

The Japanese military is assisting in the recovery of the three who remain missing. The eight personnel who were recovered were found less than an hour after the crash occurred. They are currently being treated on board the aircraft carrier.

Hope they find the other missing 3. Is it just me, or are these accidents ramping up a bit? No nefarious reasons, other than maybe stuff getting old?

More than likely increasing 'mishaps' are due to increased activity 'over there'.

It's 7th Fleet. What we're seeing is what happens when training, certifications, maintenance, etc. all get rubber stamped or ignored entirely for years on end.

That happened a lot in our motor pool. Often times people came and grabbed vehicles without the gate guy ever stopping them. They started to come down on it, but it still happens.

its what happens when superior officers are seldom held accountable. 5th 6th and 7th fleet is a big 'boys club'. if you know, you'll know. anything goes at the top level, we're seeing the effects beginning to really trickle down to the public. say maybe 7 years ago, mishaps like these would take a while before the public knew about it, or until a full story and paperwork had been ironed out.

Please use the existing thread. Thanks much.
