The military's run of fatal accidents: Coincidence, or crisis?
The Marine Corps seems to be particularly snakebitten. It has lost 20 Marines last year in three deadly crashes, and four more this year, in an April 3 training accident, in which a CH-53 helicopter crashed in the California desert.
But each of the crashes involved different aircraft in different circumstances, and no single causal factor has been identified.
