It Appears That the US Military Accidentally Killed Everybody on Board a Civilian Medevac Flight in New Mexico
"When those lights go out, man, you know you are in big trouble." The post It Appears That the US Military Accidentally Killed Everybody on Board a Civilian Medevac Flight in New Mexico appeared first on Futurism .
The US military's testing of an experimental GPS jammer led to the tragic crash of a civilian medevac plane in New Mexico. On a seemingly routine flight from Roswell to the mountain village of Ruidoso, the pilots experienced navigational issues due to the jamming conducted at the nearby White Sands Missile Range. With low visibility and air traffic control overwhelmed, the crew crashed into the side of a mountain, resulting in the loss of all four lives on board.
This marks the first known case of military GPS jamming causing a civilian plane to crash within US airspace. Reported instances of GPS interference have risen significantly, from four in 2020 to 50 in 2024 and 40 in 2025. Despite warnings of potential interference, the crew lacked adequate safeguards and support from air traffic control, contributing to the devastating outcome.
