Narrative:
MQ-1 AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED LOSS OF THRUST AND IMPACTED TERRAIN, AC DESTROYED.
The Air Comat Command Accident Investigation Board findings were publicly released on 10th July, 2014. The US$ 4.59million aircraft ditched in the Mediterranean 11.5 hours into its mission. It was not recovered. However, using the GCS data logs the investigators determined that a loss of coolant led to a loss of engine thrust and gradual descent from 14,000ft to impact the sea over a 50-minute time-span.
