Marine Corps Plane Crash: The 16 Victims

July 13, 2017
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — There were 16 of them, ranging from a major down to two corporals. They had collectively served nearly three dozen deployments, including 22 to Afghanistan and six to Iraq. Some were married and had children; others were just a few years beyond boot camp.

The United States military on Friday publicly identified the 15 Marines and one sailor who died on Monday when their transport plane crashed into the rugged farmland of the Mississippi Delta, one of the worst military aviation accidents of recent years.
