According to US TV News and other foreign media reports, on November 29, local time, a US military "Osprey" transport plane crashed in the waters near Yakushima Island, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, with one of the eight people on board confirmed dead, and the whereabouts of the other seven are unknown.
The crash of this transport plane has once again aroused the strong support of the Japanese people. On 30 November, Japan's defense minister also strongly demanded that the US military ground the accident aircraft in Japan.
It is worth noting that this "Osprey" transport plane has many crashes, which can be said to be "repeatedly falling and flying" and "flying with firm ambitions".
In March last year, an Osprey plane crashed in Norway during a North Atlantic Treaty Organization exercise, killing four marines on board.
In June last year, an Osprey crashed in California, USA, killing five Marines on board.
In August this year, an "Osprey" transport plane crashed while participating in a military Xi exercise on Melville Island in Australia, killing three people and seriously injuring many others.
In addition, Black Hawk*** also joined in the fun. In April this year, a Japanese Black Hawk*** crashed, killing 10 people, one of whom was a lieutenant general, the commander of the division, the heaviest loss of the Japanese army in decades.
The Japanese people have been living in the shadow of the crash of the US military plane. In December 2016, a "Osprey" transport plane of the US military stationed in Japan made a forced landing in the waters near Okinawa, and two crew members were injured, which caused panic among the local people in Okinawa and held a fierce **, the Japanese people have always opposed the deployment of the "Osprey" transport plane by the US military in Japan.
As a matter of fact, as far as the Japanese people are concerned, they have been afraid of the US military for a long time: first, they are afraid that the US soldiers will play hooligans, and second, they are afraid that the US planes will fall into trouble.
Therefore, after the crash, the Japanese Ministry of Defense demanded in writing that the US military immediately ground all Osprey planes. But the United States turned a deaf ear and continued to fly, waiting for the investigation to be clear before making judgments. This attitude of the United States made the governor of Okinawa Prefecture bitterly scold the Americans for being unreliable.
Hey, the Japanese people are so aggrieved!In the sky, we must always be on guard against the US military plane falling down;On the ground, you have to hide from American GIs to harass women at all times, it's difficult!
