2) Ironically, this accident bears a strong resemblance to the infamous accident on 8April 2000 in Marana, Arizona that killed 19 Marines. In both cases the aircraft was running late and the pilots made an improvised, non-standard approach. Marana of course was blamed on A-VRS and this one wasn't, but the end result is basically the same: Crashed V-22
Perhaps the engines really did begin to decelerate due to running out of the 'ram air effect' during rotor transition to a hover. Besides, these engines have a history of having compressor stalls which were deemed normal by the mfg.

There is very little 'honor' left anywhere in government these days as compared to when you and I served. When everyone lies, you would turn out to be the fool willing to sacrifice everything for honor. These days, honor amongst men in power no longer exists.
