The US side recently announced that it had dispatched the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier to the waters near Yakushima Island in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, to search for the crew of the US "Osprey" transport plane that crashed into the sea on 29 last month. The accident has left one person dead and seven unaccounted for.
According to the US military, the wrecked "Osprey" transport plane crashed in the waters near Yakushima Island in Kagoshima Prefecture on 29 June, carrying a total of eight people on board. With the exception of one person who has been found and confirmed dead, the remaining seven remain missing. One of the deceased, who has been found, is 24 years old and belongs to the U.S. military Kadena base in Okinawa Prefecture.
The search and rescue operation will be led by the USS Carl Vinson, which is equipped with advanced search and salvage equipment and can effectively help the US military find the wrecked plane and its occupants. In addition, the U.S. military said it would use other military and civilian forces to go all out to carry out search and rescue operations.
The US military has launched a comprehensive investigation into the accident. From what is available so far, the cause of the accident is not clear, but it may be related to bad weather and mechanical failure. After the accident, the US military quickly launched a rescue operation, but because the incident site is located in a deep sea area, the search and rescue is extremely difficult.
During the search and rescue operation, the U.S. military received strong assistance from the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and local fishermen. Japan's Self-Defense Forces have sent a number of ships to participate in the search and rescue operation, and local fishermen have also provided a lot of help. Taking advantage of their familiarity with the local waters, they actively participated in search and rescue work and provided valuable intelligence and assistance to the US military.
The US military expresses its deep condolences and condolences over the accident. They said that they would spare no effort to find the crashed plane and its occupants, and provide maximum support and assistance to the families of the victims. At the same time, the US military also stressed the importance of safety awareness and risk prevention, and asked all officers and soldiers to remain vigilant at all times to ensure that similar accidents do not happen again.
We sincerely wish that the survivors of the crash can be found soon, that the deceased rest in peace, and that the families can come out of the shadows and rebuild their lives as soon as possible. At the same time, we also expect the U.S. military to strengthen security management measures to ensure that similar accidents do not happen again.
