flag A Mississippi jury has acquitted James Michael Fisher, a retired military engineer, of lying about propeller inspection changes in connection with the 2017 KC-130T crash that killed 16 service members. flag The plane, carrying Marines and a Navy corpsman, broke apart mid-flight after a cracked, corroded propeller blade failed, crashing near Itta Bena, Mississippi. flag Fisher, the lead propulsion engineer in 2011, was accused of misleading investigators in a 2021 probe, but his defense argued he was in Brazil during key decisions and that the contested document was signed after the faulty blade had already been reinstalled. flag The crash, the deadliest Marine Corps air disaster since 2005, prompted temporary grounding of C-130 aircraft for safety inspections. flag Prosecutors did not comment after the acquittal.
