An Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) similar to the ones the Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) bought recently sank in the United States (US) during a routine Training Exercise, killing one Marine and 8 others ended up missing. 

7 other Passengers managed to escape the Vehicle before it sank. This incident marks the third time since 2011 that an AAV of the USMC suffered an Accident. First was in 2011 when one sank in the US killing one Passenger. In 2017, 15 Passengers were injured when an AAV hit a Natural Gas Line.
