Eight service members are presumed dead after their amphibious vehicle sank Thursday.
The Marine Corps says the vehicle sank into several hundred feet of water between 0.6 and 1.2 miles off San Clemente Island's beach and was within the sight of other AAVs. Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. David Berger says the search ended because"all resources were exhausted." I know all of us in the USMC family are extremely saddened following the announcement of the end of SAR operations. This difficult decision was made after all resources were exhausted. Our prayers continue to be with the family and friends of the 8 Marines and one Sailor we lost.
These vehicles are extremely problematic, a Duck boat/Amphibious vehicle/ repurposed old military equipment, killed 18 people in Branson Missouri on Table Rock lake.
Praying for everyone.

So sad. Rest In Peace.🙏🏾🙏🏾🥺🥺
What the duck?!? This is heartbreaking, but also the article was vague and weird.
God Bless
Here is how the Chinese thinks about the news
More lives lost to training accidents than the war they were involved in when my husband was stationed there.
Media, do your freakin' job. If this was Hilary the right wing echo chamber would be using this as a military weakness against her. The media couldn't wait to get a repug to interview about her failures. 45's military has murdered soldiers with bounties missing servicemen covid.
Oh no. 🥺🥺
I don’t mean this to be insensitive, but didn’t they look longer for Naya Rivera than these people? That’s messed up.
So tragic. My heart goes out to all the families. Meanwhile Trump goes golfing again. Disgraceful!
I am sorry to I hear this. My thoughts and prayers to their families.
God bless the families of my follow marines.
It’s frightening how many servicemen and women die in training exercise accidents.
So Sad, Like Seat belts life jackets oughtta be mandatory on water
Thank you all for your service.
😔😔😔 I empathize with families of these warriors, as the daughter of a Marine who often took part in these exact types of exercises. Holding out for survivors and hoping for complete recovery.
They gave up after only 40 hours of searching? I cannot imagine how their mothers are feeling...
Terrible to hear about this... may they RIP.
This is so sad. Deepest sympathies to the families of these Marines, their friends and fellow soldiers. May the 8 rest in peace.
Trump has ruined our Military.
Trumps words about these Marines were beautiful... oh wait he went golfing...
SAD.
Omg
More Trump training accidents, the worst Commander and Chief of all time. More dead in training accidents than in war. Shameful
💔
Why not report about our soldiers dying in the line of duty
Trump has commented extensively on missing soldiers...not.
Quicksand thought fast
💔💔💔
💔
WHAT?
This is so sad. I cannot believe it. God, why?
Another multi-billion military industrial fraud. Maybe Trump can pawn them off to little towns around the Great Lakes.
How awful. May their memories be a blessing.
My heart aches for the families of these young men. Condolences to their families and everyone involved
So sad...😞
