The U.S. Air Force has identified the 8 service members who died in an Osprey crash off the coast of Japan. The crash led to the grounding of all Osprey aircraft due to a potential material failure. The military is focused on recovering the remains and debris from the crash. The decision to ground the fleet was made after a preliminary investigation indicated that a material failure, not a crew mistake, led to the deaths.
