About a week from the air crash of two US Navy planes on the coast of Japan and their collapse in the Pacific Ocean, research into the search for five missing crew members was closed.
All five American sailors were declared dead.
Tragedy occurred last Thursday when a fighter plane occurred. F/A-18 and one that served in the fuel supply of the planes, KC-130, were conducting a common exercise near Cape Murotto on the island of Shiku.
Two fighter pilots F/A-18 was saved several hours after the accident, but one of them later died in the hospital. The other five marines were on board KC-130.
All sailors were stationed at the Iwakuni air base near Hiroshima. In the meantime, investigations of the crash cause continue.
This is the latest incident in a series of accidents involving American military planes deployed in Japan. /voa
