No worries FRiend.

The reporting or lack thereof is disconcerting to all of us interested in the facts surrounding this downed helo.

Using the terms finding the aircraft and searching for the aircrew is disjointed at best.

A Twitter comment contained a question to the first responders out of San Diego.

“Was this Tiger02?”

Obviously, if there are fatalities, there would be a media embargo until next of kin are notified.

A WSJ article that had a paywall also had an audio of the story that could be listened to without compensation. I listened to it and a USMC PAO officer, was quoted reporting in a very generic manner and the WSJ author noted that the Marine Corps did not state the condition of the found helo.

“Open source flight information reviewed by Military.com showed a CH-53 Super Stallion having previously operated under the call sign Tiger 11 flying west from El Centro, California; its last known location, according to the flight tracker, was recorded late Tuesday night and in the vicinity of the reported discovery site.

The Marines are assigned to Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 361 of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing in California. Their nickname is the Flying Tigers.”
