The bodies of four members of the US Marine Corps who lost their lives when their plane crashed while participating in a NATO exercise in Norway were recovered and transported to the nearest town, the Norwegian Ministry of Defense announced on Sunday.
“The four crew members were evacuated from the scene of the accident by a Sea King search and rescue helicopter of the 330th Norwegian Air Squadron. The bodies will remain in Bode (northern Norway) until they are transported to the United States,” a statement said. of the armed forces.
Their details were not made public.
The Marine Corps Osprey, with a four-member crew, disappeared from radar on Friday afternoon amid bad weather, according to Norwegian search and rescue services.
Bad weather has also complicated investigations. The rescue operation took place only on Saturday.
“The work went well, although it was demanding. However, we retrieved the bodies, that was the first priority,” police chief Christian Vikran Carlsen, the head of the investigation, told a news conference.
According to Norwegian public television NRK, Osprey’s so-called black box has also been recovered.
According to the first data of the investigation, the American military plane “crashed” on a mountain.
Osprey participated in Cold Response high schools, which involved 200 aircraft and some fifty ships – and which is continuing as planned, with additional safety measures due to the weather conditions.
The high schools, which run until 1 April, are intended to test Norway’s ability to receive foreign aid in the event of a third country attack under Article 5 of NATO’s Charter, which stipulates that its members must defend each other in this case.
