Three US Marines dead after aircraft crashes during drills in Australia
Three US Marines have died after an Osprey aircraft crashed on a remote island north of Australia during war games. Five Marines were rescued and taken to a hospital in Darwin, while the rest of the injured crew were being treated at the scene. The cause of the crash is under investigation. The Osprey aircraft, a mix between a helicopter and a plane, has had a troubled history with fatal crashes in the past. This incident occurred during joint warfighting drills between the US and Australia.
