I tend to just blame anything like this on women and brown people.
But I guess accidents do just happen sometimes.
A U.S. military plane crashed in a Mississippi soybean field on Monday afternoon, killing 15 Marines and a Navy Corpsman. Here’s what we know about the incident and the victims.
What happened?
The KC-130 transport aircraft went down at about 4 p.m. local time in Leflore County, the Marine Corps Special Operations Command said Tuesday in a Facebook post.
Six of the Marines and the sailor were from the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, the post said. The special forces members and their equipment were headed for pre-deployment training in Yuma, Arizona.
Brig. Gen. Bradley S. James, commanding general, 4th Marine Aircraft Wing, Marine Forces Reserve, said Wednesday they were headed to El Centro, California, before going to Yuma.

Looks like a straight-shooter.
“Indications are that something went wrong at cruise altitude,” he said.
James also said that there were two impact sites. One site was approximately a half-mile north of U.S. 82, and the second site about a half-mile south of it, he said.
Who were the victims?
Nine Marines were from Newburgh, N.Y., and six Marines and a Navy Corpsman were from Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, according to James.
The plane was based at Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh.
Four of the Marines have been identified: Staff. Sgt. Joshua Snowden, 31; Marine Sgt. Julian Kevianne, 31; Dan Baldassare, 20; and Marine Gunnery Sgt. Brendan Johnson, 46, LoHud.com reported.
Only one… or perhaps two… brown people.
Gonna go ahead and blame it on him/them.
I mean, crashing a jet in the middle of a soybean field, in current year… someone has to have screwed something up pretty badly.
Of course it also could have been some affirmative action mechanic.
Marine Plane crash in Mississippi is heartbreaking. Melania and I send our deepest condolences to all!

The stupidest part is that someone apparently stole pieces of the wreckage.
Mississippi’s public safety commissioner says authorities are pursuing at least one criminal investigation against someone for removing debris from a crashed Marine Corps plane.
At a Wednesday news conference in Itta Bena, Commissioner Marshall Fisher said the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, as well as federal prosecutors in northern Mississippi, are investigating.
Fisher urged people to stay away from debris and call the ATF at 1-800-ATF-GUNS if they find anything.
State law enforcement agencies are guarding the site where the Marine Corp KC-130 crashed on Monday in Mississippi’s Leflore County, killing 15 Marines and 1 Navy corpsman.
Brig. Gen. Bradley S. James says two main impact areas are separated by a mile, but smaller debris is scattered more widely. He and Fisher said some debris could be dangerous to bystanders.
Did they want a souvenir?
