Almost a year since the tragedy, the US Marine Corp has released the findings from an investigation into an Osprey crash in northern Australia that killed three people and injured 20 others.
The US Marine Corp has released its findings from an investigation into an Osprey crash on the Tiwi Islands in northern Australia in August last year.The NT chief minister says she expects the marines to follow any recommendations that come out of the findings about following safety procedures.
The findings of the US Marines' official investigation rules out "material or mechanical failure of any component on the aircraft". "The lack of attention to detail and failure to comply with proper pre-flight procedures … may be indicative of a squadron culture that does not value strict adherence to procedure," the report read."The responsibility of commanders for their commands is absolute — to include for the culture and accepted practices established within that command that contributed to this mishap.
