The TV news showed some footage of a V-22, one of a group of three, that had been "practicing heavy landings" and wasn't able to take off again, i.e. it crashed, sadly one fatality.
When will the news agencies ever get an aviation correspondent who knows their stuff. Instead we get vacuous talking heads.

They won't Charlie, just as all film directors and sound recorders, including the ones that do Rescue Helicopter TV shows, believe all helicopters sound like a UH-1. News isn't really news anymore it's entertainment, that's why accuracy takes second place and they're all shouting about how they've scored an exclusive, as if we care....
