A U.S. F-16 fighter has crashed into waters in the Yellow Sea off the coast of South Korea, stoking safety concerns after eight U.S. airmen were killed last month in the crash of an Osprey aircraft near a Japanese island. The F-16 crashed into the sea Monday after taking off at about 9 a.m. from the city of Gunsan, some 180 kilometers south of Seoul, Yonhap News Agency reported, citing sources it did not identify. The pilot ejected and was conscious after being rescued from the sea, it said. U.S. Forces Korea did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The crash of the Osprey off the southwestern island of Yakushima last month ultimately prompted the U.S. military to ground its entire fleet of several hundred of the aircraft to check for a possible equipment problem that may have been the cause of the accident, according to military officials. Before the decision to ground the fleet, the Japanese government had called for U.S. military forces in the country to suspend use of the Osprey, which was made by a unit of Boeing and the Bell Helicopter unit of Textron, so that checks could be conducted. The crash in Japan returned scrutiny to the Osprey, a tilt-rotor aircraft that can take off and land like a helicopter and fly like an airplane. Early years of setbacks and accidents — especially in 2000, when two crashes killed 23 Marines — triggered a major Pentagon review and subsequent design changes for the aircraft that served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The US has crashed more aircrafts in training this year than 🇷🇺 Russia that is fighting in a war has. More than 10 crashes in just the last 2 months. 🇺🇸 US military aircrafts are flying coffins. World's number 1 🤡 Army indeed. 👍🏻 Like for Russia-Putin, share for USA/Nazi/NATO 卍 112 Likes 49 Shares |

What's wrong with US military these days Pilot error is often the number one cause of aviation accidents, but I believe US pilots receive the best training in the world. Maintaining over 13,000 aircrafts is a big challenge sha 60 Likes 9 Shares |

See how they will carry out checks on those aircraft to avert future reoccurrence. A country that values safety. Atleast this is better than bombing your own people accidentally labelling them terrorist 25 Likes |

US is playing mind game making people feel they are incompetent. If you know you know. Update: I made my opinion innocently and f00ls that have never been loved and will never be loved came crying in my comment. I'm not the reason why your parents did not show you love and I'm not the reason for your frustration in life 23 Likes 2 Shares |
