Marine aircraft crash
kills 19 passengers
By Micneue Kusnio
The Associated Press
MARANA, Ariz. — A Marine
Corps aircraft attempting to land
during a nighttime training mis
sion crashed and burst into
flames, killing all 19 aboard and
adding to a checkered history for
a new breed of hybrid plane that
can take off and land like a heli
copter.
The MV-22 tiltrotor Osprey,
which looks like a turboprop, is
part of a new generation of aircraft
scheduled to eventually replace
all of the Marines’ primary troop
transport helicopters. The mili
tary began flying the aircraft six
months ago.
The four crew members in Sat
urday night’s crash were from a
task force headquartered in Quan
tico, Va. The passengers were 14
Marines from 3rd Battalion, 5th
Marines based at Camp Pendle
ton, Calif., and one from Marine
Corps Air Station-Miramar in San
Diego County, according to the
Marine Corps.
On Sunday, investigators were
reviewing the crash site at Marana
Northwest Regional Airport
northwest of Tucson. Few details
were released.
Carol Ward, who lives about
five miles from the airport, said
she watched the plane fly by from
her porch. It disappeared behind
a mountain, and a few second lat
er, “I saw the smoke and this big
old poof,” she said.
The dust from the crash “just
eliminated the sky,” she said.
A heap of twisted, charred met
al was visible at the scene, and
aerial footage showed a large
blackened patch on the airport
grounds.
Military officials said the
downed aircraft had been at
tempting to land at the airport
when it crashed. It was one of two
Ospreys simulating the evacua
tion of civilians, similar to what
Marines would do if they were re
moving people from an embassy
in a hostile country.
The mission was conducted
with night vision goggles and in
frared radar, officials said.
Firefighters said witnesses re
ported seeing the plane head
straight down and become en
gulfed in flames after it crashed.
“Our sympathies go out to the
families of these Marines/' said
Marine Lt. Mark Carter, a
spokesman for the Marine Corps
Air Station in Yuma, where the
flight originated.
President Clinton called the
units’ commanding officers and
asked them to “pass condolences
to the families and tell them of the
importance of their service,”
White House press secretary )oe
Lockhart said.
Several Camp Pendleton
Marines, on a day off in nearby
Oceanside, Calif., said they were
saddened by the tragedy but
couldn’t let it affect their work.
“You feel sorry for the families,
Ibutl you’ve got to forget about it
because you have to keep on
training no matter what the acci
dent,” said Cpl. William IVavis.
Men's health
continued from page 1A
learn what gender-specific health
problems they should watch for.
“With the focus on men’s
health, it’s really showing us all
that men have specific needs, just
as women do,” said Anne Matt
son, a registered nurse at the
health center. Some of the leading
causes of death among men, in
cluding heart disease, testicular
cancer and lung cancer, are pre
ventable, Mattson said, but men
often don’t seek health care.
Frank said the idea to focus on
men’s health issues arose after a
group of concerned staff from the
health center, University Counsel
ing Center, Office of Student Life
and Physical Activity and Recre
ational Services saw a need last
year to research how men on cam
pus dealt with health issues.
Last spring, the staff asked a
cross-section of males from vari
ous campus organizations to par
ticipate in focus groups in an effort
to gauge their feelings about health
care. They found that men were
concerned about issues such as al
cohol and drug abuse, anger man
agement, sex and relationships
and depression and stress said Jon
Davies, a psychologist with the
University Counseling Center
who helped lead the research.
“We also found that men had
concerns for the health of other
men but felt frustrated in their ef
forts to help them,” Davies said.
Due to societal norms, men are
taught from a young age to ignore
their symptoms and not talk about
personal discomfort, a problem
Frank terms the “machismo effect.”
In addition, men in the focus
groups listed several reasons for
not seeking health care, ranging
from being “too embarrassed” to
believing they were too young to
worry about far-off health problems
such as heart disease or cancer.
Men also look at health care dif
ferently, Mattson said.
“When women think about
their health, they tend to be more
concerned with their overall well
being,” she said. “But when men
think about their health, they tend
to think about being fit and attrac
tive.”
Organizers hope the events will
help change men’s attitudes about
their health.
“Raising everybody’s con
sciousness on campus is what
next week’s events are all about,”
Mattson said.
Events begin tonight
Dr. Will Courtenay, a California
psychotherapist and expert in
men’s health issues, will kick off
the series of awareness events
tonight at 7 in the EMU Ballroom
with a discussion of men’s health
issues and how attitudes about
masculinity influence the health
risks men take.
Organizers also scheduled an 4
academic seminar on men’s health
issues for next weekend, April 15
and 16. The seminar aims to raise
men’s awareness of their physical
and emotional health concerns
and increase the chances of them
seeking help, said Davies, who will
be one of the course instructors.
Davies added that there will
likely be more men’s health semi
nars next year because the one of
fered this term quickly filled up.
The series will conclude at 7
p.m. April 21 with a free question
and-answer session at McArthur
Court hosted by Dr. Drew from the
popular MTV show and radio pro
gram “Loveline.”
In addition to the scheduled
events, the health center has pre
pared “Men’s Well Duck Check”
sheets, which list the leading caus
es of death for men and preventa
tive health measures they should
take, such as getting a physical
exam and performing regular tes
ticular exams.
