“Can’t blame this one on the US Navy.”
.... the incident you allude to involved members of the USMC, at the time, I believe, was a department of the Navy.
The men’s department of the navy

The event you are referring to happened about 4 hours to the east at Cavalese….still amazes me that the aircraft (an EA-6B Prowler) was able to make back to base.
In looking at the pictures, I wondered how many people could have been in the car and whether there were any survivors. It looks like it will hold about 25 or so.
