In a joint operation, U.S. and Japanese divers have discovered wreckage and the remains of five crew members from a U.S. Air Force Osprey aircraft that crashed off Yakushima island, Japan, last week. The CV-22 Osprey, carrying eight Americans, crashed during a training mission. So far, two of the five newly found remains have been recovered, with the identities yet to be confirmed. This follows the earlier recovery and identification of Air Force Staff Sgt. Jacob Galliher. Japan has temporarily grounded its fleet of 14 Ospreys, highlighting ongoing safety concerns, while the U.S. continues to operate its MV-22s in Okinawa. The search for the remaining crew and further investigation into the crash continues, with local fishing boats aiding in the recovery and the U.S. examining the wreckage under the Japan-U.S. Status of Forces Agreement. This agreement often limits Japan’s ability to conduct independent investigations in incidents involving American military personnel.
