The five Marines who went missing while traveling aboard a helicopter from Nevada to California have been found dead, officials said Thursday morning.
The helicopter was found crashed in a mountainous area in Southern California, the Marine Corps confirmed on Thursday.
This is a developing story.
Ping
Sounds like the Houthi’s have upgraded their weapons again.
My best buddy was part of a helicopter team. He passed away last year. I miss my buddy.
Eternal Father, grant, we pray,
To all Marines, both night and day,
The courage, honor, strength, and skill
Their land to serve, thy law fulfill;
Be thou the shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps.
(Marine Corps verse, The Navy Hymn)
RIP
Sad indeed! The son of my best friend is a Marine in San Diego. I always get anxious for him when I read these headlines.
What was so important that a helicopter had to be flying in the worse storm to hit southern California in decades?
Something doesn’t smell right with all these people dying like this.
They are covering up something.
RIP. As this was a training mission, I think it is fair to ask why they were flying in and into a major storm, the largest of the season?
Amen
What is going on in our military. Sounds like 5 more victims of DEI (DIE).
Just a guess, but I think they hit a microburst that caused a sudden loss of lift and they flew into the side of the mountain................
Returning from a night training mission near Vegas during a storm in mountainous terrain and 5 US Marines dead flying a CH53 Super Stallion.
There’s something missing from this equation, like the JA who failed to check the weather & scrub the return flight to Miramar...
Biden will say that Beau also died in a helicopter crash.
We may find that there was a malfunction...but Dems will insist it was due to climate change....like Marines have never flown their helicopters in bad weather before.
Definitely the weather.
As others have asked, why were they even flying in that mess?

For the families sake, I am glad they were found so we can have proper burials for these heroes.
