Can we talk about the fact that the way this is worded implies that had this incident *not* happened, there would have been injuries.

Take and build the smallest airplane around the largest possible engine and you get this magnificent beast! The F4U Corsair. The Japs called it Whistling Death. She served all the way into the Korean War

"A US Marine Corps (USMC) Bell MV-22B Osprey, Marine Tiltrotor Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron (VMX) 22, Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) New River, North Carolina (NC), prepares to refuel while another Osprey approaches the flightdeck of the US Navy (USN) Amphibious Assault Ship USS WASP (LHD 1) for landing. The MV-22 is an advanced technology, vertical/short takeoff and landing (VSTOL) multipurpose tactical aircraft, and is scheduled to replace the aging CH-46E Sea Knight and CH-53D Sea Stallion helicopters currently in service. The WASP is currently conducting deck landing qualifications in the Atlantic Ocean."
