Both Destroyed

Those summaries are hard to read. The Y after Destroyed means Yes, and N means No, it's repairable. The "event cost" for the June mishap listed there is over $63 million, which I assume is the replacement cost for the aircraft. The second one just happened Monday, and there is no event cost yet, so I assume the Y after Destroyed means the crew reported it's really smashed, and not repairable.

Good to know the crews are okay. In the first mishap, I would assume there was a mechanical problem that prevented it from flying away from the flames. I agree, Class A mishaps are common with helicopters, but the press loves to focus on the V-22 for whatever reason.
