 CNN.com - U.S. military aviation accident rate down - October 3, 2000   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The accident rate for military aviation this past budget year was the lowest ever but the number of crash deaths rose sharply, mainly because of two Marine Corps training accidents, the Pentagon said Tuesday.

The rise in casualties in fiscal 2000 was due mainly to two Marine Corps accidents: an MV-22 Osprey crash in Arizona in April that killed 19 Marines and the crash of a CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter off the coast of San Diego last December that killed six Marines and one sailor.
