SYDNEY nike air max 360 sale , Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- Three U.S. marines have been confirmed dead after the wreckage of their downed military aircraft was located off the coast of Australia on Tuesday.
The three victims were part of the Talisman Saber joint military exercises, conducted biannually between the Australian Defence Force and U.S. military.
During a scheduled exercise on Saturday, the tilt-rotor MV-22 Osprey which they were traveling on with 23 others crashed into Shoalwater Bay, off the coast of Queensland State.
It was reported that the aircraft collided with a transport ship while it was attempting to land.
The Osprey then slid off the deck of the vessel and fell into the ocean.
After three days of searching, the aircraft was discovered by Australia's HMAS Melville late Monday night and a Royal Australian Navy dive clearance team immediately began the recovery operation with assistance from U.S. forces.
The commanding general of the III Marine Expeditionary Force nike air max 97 sale , Lieutenant General Lawrence Nicholson told local media, he appreciated the efforts made by the Australian Defence Force.
"They volunteered their help before we could even ask, demonstrating their friendship and value as international partners," Nicholson said.
"The crew of the Melville and its assets have been invaluable in the recovery effort. On behalf of the Marines, sailors nike air vapormax sale , and families of III MEF, I thank you for your support."
The 23 other men were rescued onboard the aircraft are now recovering from the incident.

Every summer I do a little traveling with my family. The family members who went were my mom, dad, and younger sister Margaret. In the past we had visited San Francisco nike air max 2019 sale , Chicago, and Washington DC. But late last year I had a momentous change in my life, with Corey being born and consuming most of my time. Yet I did not want to break from this fun and exciting family tradition, so I decided to bring him along. For this year’s summer vacation, my dad thought a trip to New York City would be fantastic. So he wrote up an itinerary nike air max 270 mens sale , which included renting a car to visit family friends in White Planes, then bought us all plane tickets.
While dad took care of the plane tickets, I knew Corey would need new clothes and baby gear to make it through the trip. I wasn’t sure how to approach it exactly, being so busy with work and taking care of him. Then my friend Sheila said I could go online and find all the baby supplies for great prices. I immediately hopped on the internet and found that indeed it was very easy to locate exactly what I needed. First I knew Corey would need a few pairs of shorts, so I took his measurements and then plugged them in. I had a wide selection of choices nike air max 270 womens sale , but decided on a nice pair of blue shorts with little duckies on it. They were so cute! I thought it would also be great if he had a matching little baby tee, and just like that I was able to find a matching blue ducky tee shirt. I then started to ponder what else he might need, and so I started browsing. I stumbled upon an adorable pair of baby wraparound sunglasses, and knew Corey had to have them. They looked great and would protect his eyes. Then I remembered my mom mentioning that our friends in White Plains had a swimming pool, so I browsed swimwear. I was shocked at how low the prices were. I got him a suit and some floaties nike air max 270 camo heel sale , and then realized I had enough to get him his own floating seat!
After I purchased all of Corey’s new clothes and gear online, I just sat back and relaxed knowing all I had to do was wait a few days and I would be all set. Indeed, a few days later all the stuff came with plenty of time to spare before the trip. I saved money, didn’t have to leave my home, and got precisely what Corey needed to have a great vacation. A week later we went on our first family vacation with my beautiful baby boy nike air max 270 coral dtardust sale , and we always remember how amazing it was.

DHAKA, June 22 (Xinhua) -- The successful implementation of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) has played a vital role in maintaining prosperity and stability in Hong Kong over the past 20 years since Hong Kong returned to China, an expert here said.
On July 1, 1997, the Chinese government resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong nike air max 270 ultramarine sale , and Hong Kong returned to the embrace of the motherland and embarked on the broad road of common development with the Chinese mainland.
Enacted in accordance with China's Constitution, the Basic Law specifies the guidelines of "one country, two systems," and "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong" with a high degree of autonomy.
Mahbubur Rashid, a senior journalist of The Financial Express nike air max 270 triple black sale , Bangladesh's well-known English financial daily, said the Basic Law has played a vital role over the past 20 years in maintaining prosperity and stability in the HKSAR.
He said it managed to serve the fundamental purposes of both safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests as well as maintaining Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability.
