Families of Marines Killed in 2022 Osprey Crash Sue Bell Textron, Boeing, Rolls Royce
May 23, 2024, 11:43 PM
Families of the five U.S. Marines who were killed in a V-22 Osprey crash in California in June 2022 have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the aircraft's manufacturers, including Bell Textron, Boeing, and Rolls Royce. The lawsuit alleges that the manufacturers were aware of hard clutch engagement problems with the V-22 Ospreys since 2010 but failed to address these known mechanical failures. The suit claims that the tiltrotor aircraft do not meet government safety specifications and accuses the contractors of lying about the aircraft's safety. Attorney Tim Loranger, a Marine Corps veteran, has highlighted these issues, emphasizing the need for accountability to prevent future incidents. The Marines were based at Camp Pendleton, and the lawsuit is filed by families of four of the five Marines.
