I had a friend whose dad worked on the v-22 program, knew a number of the engineers and guys who died on the early flights.
One night while he was “loose” he said that the plane was pretty safe and a lot of accidents are actually a fantastic way to explain the death of people they need to explain the deaths of.
It’s my favorite conspiracy theory, that these accidents are just battle casualties for things they don’t want to admit. That the v-22 is an “accident farm”
edit: for the sake of clarity, there is no evidence whatsoever for this at all. It was literally someone talking shit and they could have (and probably were) just been talking nonsense anyways. It’s fun to think of in the way a video game plot is fun.
I have absolutely no reason to believe this is true, but I like thinking it
What an insane thing to repeat without any evidence.
I’ve literally said from start to finish it’s a wild conspiracy theory with no evidence, I have no reason to believe it’s true nor should anyone who saw what I said.
And I’ll add some “in case you’re a moron boilerplate” to it
Though in this scenario I’d be a 3rd party source, as I heard it from a first party. My credibility is suspect as you don’t know how valid my claim is anyways.
And I’ll add some “in case you’re a moron boilerplate” to it
This is actually needed. People see the conspiracy disclaimer as a wink wink and just believe everything as-is.
It’s not exactly crazy to talk about the US government assassinating people. The craziest part is supposing they try that hard to hide it.
What they mean is you have a covert ops team doing missions they can’t acknowledge. Team takes heavy losses in a mission. How do you report those deaths/injuries? Easy: Osprey crash. It’s not assassinations, it’s being able to fabricate a legitimate cause of death for someone who died in a way you don’t want to admit. Not necessarily assassinations. Even accidental deaths could be covered up this way according to the rumor/theory if the accident was something they didn’t want to bring to light. Not saying all Osprey deaths are this or that only the osprey is used for this.
Now I get it. Sorry for the misunderstanding
No problem. People were down voting you when it was clear there were different thoughts going on. You good 👍
Yes and again, this was all said with no evidence and is just fiction effectively.

Until the cause of this one is determined, the only V-22 crash that wasn’t pilot error was due to a maintenance error where a mechanic wired the controls backwards.
Interesting, I heard it had a very bad reputation for it’s reliability, but I guess it’s just that it’s extremely hard to control then.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Japan’s Coast Guard has said one person was found and confirmed dead, and the search for the remaining seven aboard continues.
Asked about that statement, Japan’s chief cabinet secretary, Hirokazu Matsuno, said Tokyo had “officially” made the request.
“We are concerned that despite our repeated requests, and in the absence of sufficient explanation (from the U.S. military), the Osprey continues to fly,” he told a news conference.
The deployment of the hybrid aircraft in Japan has been controversial, with critics of the U.S. military presence in the southwest islands saying it is prone to accidents.
Pacifist Japan hosts the biggest overseas concentration of U.S. military power, with the country home to the only forward-deployed American carrier strike group, its Asian airlift hub, fighter squadrons and a U.S. Marine Corps expeditionary force.
Dujarric said that he did not expect the issue to “blow up” into a major diplomatic spat between the allies, who have been forging closer ties in the face of China’s increasingly muscular military stance in the region.
The original article contains 421 words, the summary contains 169 words. Saved 60%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
If I was a pilot, I’d also be concerned about using an Osprey. I’ve heard from people who’ve flown them how much they fucking suck and are hard to fly.
