The Pentagon grounded V-22 Osprey flights due to safety concerns over weakened metal parts.

The Pentagon has grounded V-22 Osprey flights after a near-crash due to weakened metal components. Vice Adm. Carl Chebi recommended the pause "out of an abundance of caution." The aircraft has faced safety issues, with 64 personnel killed and 93 injured in crashes since its introduction three decades ago. Recent reports found parts wearing out faster than expected and design flaws contributing to accidents.
