Abstract

The article reports on the creation of a study group by U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Robert Papp to investigate the series of aircraft accidents that killed 14 after the July 7, 2010 crash of an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter near La Push, Washington. In an August 2 interview, Papp said that deaths of his men in such accidents is unacceptable. The service Chief of Staff Vice Admiral John Currier, who will lead the group, has released a statement on July 8 that urges aviators to boost their risk mitigation and safety practices.
