Four families of Marines killed in Osprey crash launch lawsuit against aircraft’s manufacturers
Families of four of the five Marines killed when their Osprey crashed in California in June of 2022 filed a federal lawsuit Thursday alleging that the aircraft’s manufacturers failed to address known mechanical failures that led to the deaths.
The Osprey can take off or land like a helicopter but fly like an airplane. The military services have called it a game-changer in that it allows them to travel long distances quickly and land on a target, but it has not been without significant cost: More than 50 service members have been killed in accidents since 2000 in the aircraft.The Osprey’s two engines are linked by an interconnected drive shaft that runs inside the length of the wings.
There were no steps the pilots could have taken to prevent it and “no means of recovery once the compound emergency commenced,” the Marines’ 400-page report said.Five Marines died in the crash: two pilots, Capt. Nicholas P. Losapio, 31, of Rockingham, New Hampshire, and Capt. John J. Sax, 33, of Placer, California; and three crew chiefs, Cpl. Nathan E. Carlson, 21, of Winnebago, Illinois, Cpl. Seth D. Rasmuson, 21, of Johnson, Wyoming, and Lance Cpl. Evan A.
