A U.S. Air Force Osprey aircraft carrying eight people crashed off southern Japan, resulting in one crew member being pronounced dead. The cause of the crash and the status of the seven remaining people on board are unknown. The Osprey, a hybrid aircraft that takes off and lands like a helicopter but flies like an airplane, was on its way to Kadena Air Base in Okinawa when it disappeared from radar. The U.S. military has faced criticism for the safety record of Ospreys, with this crash being the latest in a series of accidents involving the aircraft.
