How many time has this sort of thing happened? (I honestly haven't heard of any before today)


They have a bad reputation. As for the numbers…

quote:

The V-22 Osprey has had 16 hull loss accidents that have resulted in a total of 55 fatalities. During testing from 1991 to 2000, there were four crashes resulting in 30 fatalities.[1] Since becoming operational in 2007, the V-22 has had 11 crashes, including two combat-zone crashes,[2][3] and several other accidents and incidents that resulted in a total of 25 fatalities.

And all of those incidents occurred without a shot being fired at any of those aircraft.
