Makes you wonder as this is the fourth incident since February in the area.HDRider":1b88q911 said:Did the Chinese hack the nav system?

Was waiting to see which way the wind was blowing and couldn't decide if it wanted to steer left (port) or right (stbd) .

The Army has had 22 Class A flight accidents since October, which involve either the loss of an aircraft or the death of a crew member, according to safety statistics published by the service. That number has surpassed the previous year's total of 20.
A soldier was killed in April when a Black Hawk from Fort Belvoir, Va., crashed on a Maryland country club golf course.
On Aug. 5, a Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey with 26 aboard crashed off the coast of Australia during a training mission, killing three Marines, and a Marine KC-130 tanker aircraft crashed into a Mississippi field in July, killing 15 Marines and a Navy corpsman. The Marine Corps has since directed all of its aviation units to conduct a 24-hour safety standdown to go over procedures.

May well be, but he hit it on the head as far as training is concerned. Also the social experiment bit.greybeard":26tc9avo said:A.J.":26tc9avo said:Prayers for those injured and the missing sailors and their families. Here's some thoughts from a retired Lt.

Thoughts, about USN man of war operations on the high seas from a retired S Army Col. That warrants about the same consideration the thoughts of an infantry officer would in relation to aviation ops or those of someone who never ventured farther out to sea than the coastal waters or the nearest freshwater lake.
Couple of helicopters went down as well as one fighter jet and a cargo plane.WalnutCrest":2c8wudvd said:TexasBred":2c8wudvd said:Been a lot of military planes "crash" lately as well.Caustic Burno":2c8wudvd said:Another warship collision this is forth incident this year in the area.

I hadn't heard that. Details?
...then again, I haven't heard many things (been keeping my head down paying attention to the details of my own little world).
The last I read about that one was that the tanker didn;t change course, the idiot on the tin can didn;t follow the rules. The tanker had the right of way.BK9954":1g8f2xmw said:The one that was hit by the oil tanker a while back was absurd. It appeared the tanker turned around to hit it. Also how do you not see a tanker. There are things the public is not being told. Maybe an enemy government has hacked the GPS system, maybe they have influenced the other ships, maybe they weren't ships at all, and we just can't afford to go to war with the culprit or dont know who did it and the Navy doesn't want to admit it. Not sure but something is not right with all of it.
