Why is my son gone? : Families of service members call for action a year after fatal training accident By David Martin Marine families call for change after fatal accident One year after nine U.S. service members drowned in a training accident, families of the fallen are taking steps to make sure it never happens again. Nearly a dozen Marines, including a general, have been disciplined in the July 30 accident. Cell phone videos of the Marines crammed into an amphibious assault vehicle only last for seconds. They had no way of knowing that within hours, nine would die drowned when their vehicle sank off the coast of California.

Families of troops killed in sinking of amphibious vehicle will sue BAE Systems, its maker

OCEANSIDE    The families of the nine service members killed last year when their assault amphibious vehicle sank off the San Diego coast are suing the manufacturer of the vehicles, they said at an emotional news conference Thursday ahead of the one-year anniversary of the tragedy. The families also demand the Marine Corps modify existing AAVs as well as its replacement, the amphibious combat vehicle, with more effective ways to escape what one of their attorneys called a “death trap” in the event of another sinking. The Vietnam War-era AAV was designed and manufactured by BAE Systems, the same contractor recently awarded a $184 million contract to begin production on its replacement, the new ACV.

Families of 9 Troops Killed in Amphibious Vehicle to Sue

Families of 9 Troops Killed in Amphibious Vehicle to Sue OCEANSIDE, Calif. The families of eight Marines and one sailor who died when their amphibious assault vehicle sank off the Southern California coast last summer plan to sue the manufacturer of the vehicle that resembles an armored seafaring tank, their lawyers announced Thursday. BAE Systems knew for a decade or more about a design defect that makes it nearly impossible for troops to open the cargo hatches and escape the 26-ton amphibious vehicles when they sink, attorney Eric Dubin said at a news conference in Oceanside, the city bordering Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base, where most of the troops were based.
