Anger in Okinawa after crash landing of U.S. military Osprey

Susumu Inamine (R), mayor of Nago in Japan's southernmost island prefecture of Okinawa, visits on Dec. 14, 2016, the shore where a U.S. Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey aircraft crash-landed in the sea off the city the previous night. The accident reinforced the view that the aircraft is accident-prone, increasing the resentment of people in Okinawa toward the central government for forcing them to host the bulk of U.S. military facilities in Japan.
