Crash C130

[88normaricers55]

so and get hot with me

[KasieJenicefr71]

also I am sweet charming

[anggeilbabe85]

lol sensual girl here just for you baby

[JonaSeeqv841]

well just turned 18 and want to learn what fun is all about

[cybermarsactual]

It was more the plan itself was retarded. If they would have retroed with some sort of A.P.U. turbine or something I could dig it. But rocket packs blowing right into the pilots face may lead to a crummy landings which it indeed did, and the last one was really bad.

[TheKevinChannel1]

Nickel for every time my retro rocket fired prematurley

[TheZa1994]

How the heck did it catch on fire so easily?

[202000cabs]

@TheZa1994 rocket exhaust gases burn up to 5000 degrees, also the front rockets probably blinded the pilot and you can see how the plane drops on the ground ritght before touch down. and all the fuel is in the wings of the plane so when the plane dropped on the ground the right wing broke and the fuel caught fire.

[1makermovie]

someone shot my AC130 out that air

ill spawn kill him

that little bicth...

[JJemo97]

operation eagle claw :(

[pspecho]

They should at least made an eject door so he can escape. lol

[randytosh]

a that will buff right out buddy

[Sammyy46]

Instead of saying all that gibberish, he could of said:

"It blew up and crashed."

[Scania4life]

The co pilot: Well done fucker.... you will be the one telling this to overlord

[terfusme]

kamehamehaaaa

[MsQueendora]

some folks just cant help themselves, they have to find a derogatory remark for everything. just honesty no pleasing most people

[MsQueendora]

wow could this commentator be any dryer....

[bigbengamer]

@MsQueendora Its a documentary, not american idol

[MsQueendora]

@bigbengamer good thing Im not American then.

[bigbengamer]

@MsQueendora whatever that means

[doh1959]

it looks like a cunt of an idea to me anyway. designer diarrhea

[MaverickOnTheMoon]

Pilot's an idiot, plus youtube is full of 14y/o s (don't give me that "you're here too BS")

[seatgurus]

NO ONE IS ANSWERING THE QUESTION - DID ANYONE DIE? WHAT THE HELL..SCREW THE PLANE

[csampang1]

@seatgurus Looks like everyone got out uninjured thankfully, according to Wikipedia

[wwwtotalitaerde]

The german BND is like cancer. It affects sane countries and starts to grow uncontrollable. The BND snitchers use their surveillance and brainwashing techniques to spread its metastases. These are then used to drain as much money and goods from the affected country to finance their greed and their aim of world governance. There is, as with cancer, only one cure. To cut out any snitcherous tissue and to prevent the spreading of the disease through a strong and radical chemical.

[w1n5ton27]

For a second I was like "WOW FLAMETHROWER MIDAIR REVERSERS!!!!!! EPIC" Then I was like "OH NOES!!! OUCH!!! BAD REVERSERS!!!"

Which was pretty dumb of me.

[007IrishLad]

c130 stands for cargo ac130 stands for attack/cargo130

[prn1111]

uhhh... what about the pilot!?

[MaksimGarmash]

Нехуй с китайскими ракетками баловаться

[ArtStone]

How was it going to take back off or was it a 1 way mission?

[JacktheSmack]

@ArtStone Looks like it had rockets in the rear too.

[EMINEMk9killer]

i thought it was an ac130?

[foenix499999]

No. Its c-130. Im guessing you got ac-130 from COD. But in fact every thing in cod is the wrong name. Such as the scar. Or the Fal

[HennytheCamera]

@foenix499999 No. It was a YMC-130H used in the "Credible Sport" program. It was a test for JATO (Jet Assisted Take Off).

[kingofkeyboards]

@foenix499999 actually there are ac-130 aircraft. they're attack versions of the c-130 planes. might wanna get your facts right before commenting :/

[LOADING1357]

@EMINEMk9killer The AC 130 is the one with guns,this is the on made for transport.

[pgjr00]

The commentator is as cold as ice....what about the people onboard?

[bernard240vdc]

to reply to the darkfalls comment well the speed and range of a fixed wing aircraft was probably needed for the anticipated mission helicopters can land just about anywhere but lack in speed and range sometimes this would of been before the deployement of the v-22 Osprey witcht combines speed and range of a fixed wing with a helicopters landing ability

[NoScopeFuryChannel]

LOL HAHA!

[Palkovnik333]

Великолепно!

[MrMarco1002]

fuck the plane, what about those people

[Randomness84726]

RIP to the pilot flying.

[Lockbar]

Even if the plane is wrecked, the pilot and ground crew can still cook some steaks on the fuselage.

[AngelKiha31]

SolidShell, perhaps SR-71 is the plane you're trying to point out :) Also, if memory serves me right, MD/Boeing designed the F-18.

[Cirux321]

@AngelKiha31

Northrop was the original designer of the F/A-18 or then known as the YF-17. The YF-17 was the prototype made to compete with General Dynamics's YF-16 (aka F-16 Falcon) in the LFP (lightweight fighter program). The USAF took the F-16 model with the Navy/Marines taking the YF-17. Northrop hired McDonald Douglas to help produce the F/A-18 and MD eventually bought the rights and design outright. MD merged with Boing in 1997.

[TheDarkfalls]

what i dont understand is why are they using something like this aircraft to rescue the hostages when you can fly a helicopter or two right into wherever they need to go.. i dont think there were enough people under captivity to require a c130's carrying capacity.

[AlexT74]

@TheDarkfalls eehhhh.. maximum range of helicopter vs C-130 maybe?

[ItsVeggiehead]

@TheDarkfalls what i believe is the reason for them using a plane instead of a helicopter is that planes have a longer distance that they can travel then helicopters. Also, planes are a lot faster then helicopters and when ur trying to get out of a hot zone, speed is very important. and again, this is just what i think.

[livewiremjk]

Blast!

[thematty29]

Why do we have to pay for something to be made when human lives are made freely?

[fliegeroh]

Any landing you can walk away from .....

[leogagliardigmail]

no, no the plane. The "rocket boosted breaks"

[SolidShell2]

If you are really asking who is the maker of that plane is the famous Lockheed one who maked famous Lockheed F117 and SR7 Black bird ( i think its still the fastest jet) and i think that they are the ones who created the era F16 F18 F22

[mixile1]

yes it works, it's stopped shortly, that's great, if you make explode an object it stops immediately, what a kanda genius brain!!!

[kamilkosmo95]

nice

[jabajabamaster]

Why didn't they fire the rocket after touch-down? I guess that would have avoid the wing breaking off, which I suppse isn't very desireable on a plane!?

[leogagliardigmail]

WTF! who was the genious who invented that??? I think could be more simple, cheap and over all, safe, to send another kind of plane! Illuminated brain!

[hazelwood55]

@leogagliardigmail

This plane was developed for when the US was trying to plan a rescue mission to free the American hostages in Iran. The only place they could land near the embassy was a soccer field. No other vehicle existed which met their specifications to do the job.

[leogagliardigmail]

A rocket boosted machine can be as safe to carry people as the challenger. Many times USA like to take high risk missions with low probabilities of success. In this case, I don't know the political reasons but, unless they were wanting to carry tanks, I'd think about using helis or even ospreys (with all its cons!) or just to parachuting the machinery (also the tanks) from the C-130

[SolidShell2]

if you really want to know who genius who make that is THE FAMOUS Lockheed one who created SR7 Blackbird ( i think its still that fastest jet) and Lockheed F117 and the era of F16 F18 F22

[sarkizmutafyan]

nobody was hurt.

[FSXnut]

can you say spinal compression?

[SAVILLEable]

i saW A SHOW ON THIS THEY WERE THRYING TO SAVE 20 OR SO PPL IN SAUDI ARABIA OR SOMEWHERE AND THE ONLY PLACE THEY COULD LAND WAS A SOCCER FIELD

[couger911]

i bet you did joker, then how the fuck did they take off again???

[dbz4lifemm]

poor pilots

[JAK0690]

Technik wie in der Steinzeit. Dafür sind die Bomben der Wahnsinn - 60 meter durch Beton! Wer es braucht...

[andyc280]

If this system allows landing on a short runway, how does it take off again?

[obefiend]

@andyc280 JATO packs.. you can see them on the rear fuseledge

[Lakotahope]

There were JATO bottles on the fuselage under the rear portion of each wing... This was supposed to be to rescue the American Hostages from the Iranian Idiots in 1979

[chaise91]

turn the rockets around?

[Gestapo1940]

pretty much the same way, it has rocket mounted in the back as well

[surfmusicjamweedgirl]

It is supposed to use rockets facing back to shorten the take-off

[couger911]

yeh that was the last one made on friday night : P

[waynetaylor1966]

OOOOps!

[390851]

that pilot is an idiot

[dorbie]

It was an experimental aircraft rigged to rescue US hostages held by Iran using a soccer field as a runway. The pilot is NOT an idiot, he's risking his life testing a top secret aircraft.

[ItsVeggiehead]

@dorbie i agree that the pilot is not an idiot and yes hes risking his life, but u have to admit he did make a mistake that pretty much stopped this project. I personally thought this project could have really gone somewhere but because the pilot started the rockets before he touched ground was the reason why the plane crashed. The way it was meant to be used is the rockets are to be deployed after u touched down. I really thought this idea was really great, just feel bad for the pilot.

[dragon9112]

@dorbie they could have used a chopper for that....

[Morbac88]

@dragon9112 Maybe a chopper isn't big enough, or the airlift point is to far away for a chopper. the c130 can do some tactical approches from an altitude of 28000ft. you can only know if it works if you test it. Many people give there lives for evolution of aviation not only military, also in civilian aviation.

[Maaarteh]

@dorbie Why didn't they use heli's :O

[dorbie]

@Maaarteh There was an attempt using helicopters and refueling with C-130s but it failed, in due to the lack of reliability and poor conditions. 8 U.S. servicemen died on that mission. This secret aircraft was going to be used in a second rescue attempt.

[Missalli82]

@dorbie the pilot may not be an idiot but after analyst the pilot NEVER should have fired the rockets until the were on the ground

[OMGKingJay]

what happened?

[jnjoblon]

The reverse thrust rockets were designed to fire shortly after landing to slow the aircraft quickly, allowing the craft to land on short runways.

The rockets fired prematurely causing the aircraft to stall just above the runway.

The end result was the craft slammed onto the runway.

[katmandu699]

Love this airplane :D

he is fucking big !! Portuguese Air force Only has 2 and i was inside one

[matsboy87]

Rocket brake?

[Chadsmith0320]

i don't understand, what was the problem??

[MisterBaz1]

Pilots ignited rockets too soon and 'dropped' onto the runway causing the wings to snap.

[terrorlover999]

omg

[DiCola119]

omg are they shooting into the cockpit?

[bananian]

why don't they just use helicopters instead?

[rebeltshead]

because C130 is huge compared to helicopters

[gioiellofi]

bell aereo il c130 .....

che dire..una mercedes volante------amen

[cnknguyen]

in short, the pilots fucked up..

[bigisezhi]

No, that was a engineering design fault. Not pilot error this time! An untested hybrid experimental aircraft, configured to pull off the near impossible "Hail Mary" maneuver ever asked of a aircraft this, or any size! Even the famed Lockheed Skunkworks can error in design when the flight envelope is pushed so very severely. But their record of excellence in achieving the utterly extraordinary is unchallenged!

[cnknguyen]

was NOT a design fault, there was an investigative documentary on the history channel regarding this. The pilots fired the rockets WAY too early causing them to stall and drop to the tarmac. Hence the crash..

[bigisezhi]

I will try to see the "H" channel documentary you mention. I admit my info was 10 or more years old, but published in a reputable aerospace magazine. It cited unintended cross rocket ignition caused by the rockets exhaust plumes igniting others therefore defeating the planned ignition sequence and leading to the crash. Thanks for not flaming like so many here, I will withdraw my comment if found to be incorrect.

[bongpig]

Rocket motors of that size would not ignite so easily. Because of the size you need to instantly ignite a vary large surface area to build up the pressure required for a sustained burn.

All of those motors ignited IN SEQUENCE which makes me highly doubt your theory

[joakorey]

but if this sistem had been designed properly there should be no possibility to activate it until the plane had landed.

[dorbie]

If that was the plan, and then it would require an interlock for something a pilot should know with certainty already nevermind the hottshot they picked for the mission. Better to leave it to the pilots, unfortunately it never worked out. Rather it failed in test than in Iran.

Of course today they'd send in a few V-22s

[390851]

yes the pilot is an idiot, he fired them rockets too soon..........even a dog can tell that...........

[dorbie]

It's not at all clear he fired them. You're making a lot of assumptions from the video when we don't even know how the firing sequence was initiated or how automated it was.

[dorbie]

P.S. the audio says "due to a combination of circumstances", that's not the same as "due to pilot error".

[goldenbum]

Errr, in short, OOOPS

[bigisezhi]

This was no remotely piloted experiment, there were crew aboard this ill fated test of a system to rescue the Iranian held hostages in Terran. I would have loved to see a successful test of this concept, seeing a big c-130 transport come in on a rocket propelled hover landing like a harrier jump jet and landing within 50-75 yards or less on an unprepared surface? Then turn around and take off in that same short distance? WOW! A STOVL C-130 Hercules!

[cornskid]

the C-130 is a short field aircraft, allways scarred the hell out of me, we'd climb so steep, this rocket things a hoot, maybe for a younger guy but not me

[bigisezhi]

I have witnessed on a few occasions, the Blue Angels Fat Albert support C-130 expertly piloted, do the shorter than short field LAUNCH turboprops at full throttle shredding the air, 3 rockets on each rear side blazing propelling that transport at an impossible to comprehend angle of attack skyward more like a fighter zoom climb than that of a C-130! I noticed when the rockets ran out the airspeed dropped swiftly and the nose did as well, wringing the very most climb out of time it could muster

[an147]

Glad no one died.

[cobrarugby123]

no one killed in this test...

this plane is in autopilot

[castun66]

If you mean there wasn't anyone inside flying it, yes there were. And you don't land on autopilot.

I think there was a show on the History Channel about them testing the idea out so they could rescue prisoners/hostages in some other country (can't remember where now) by having this land in a soccer stadium where they were being held, turn around, and take back off with the assistance of the rockets.

The rockets fired to soon due to a mechanical problem / glitch of some sort.

[gummel82]

rofl, that sucks xDD

[yootubeinmybutt]

The world is overpopulated. People are expendable.

[nikomo37]

Shit. But idea is good

[sp4rtucus]

no1 died in the crash

[cheeseyomama]

to soon on the j.a.t.o rockets huh

[kingofheartsxyz]

poor pilots

[TDUDABOMB]

thats what they are supposed to do. its like reverse thrust that slows them down.sept they wer travelling too fast when they ingaged them :)

[Trinith]

you mean too high. The whole set wasn't supposed to ignite until it was already on the ground.

[jenki72]

Oops!

[milanooss]

don't worry buddies, that's the way they land.. Big party with fireworks. YEAHHH!!!

[BeatleFanVD]

LOL!!

[silverdiablo7]

Hahahahha!!! xD

[Allan1995allan]

asa

[114BW]

S.T.O.L BULLSHIT.

[Headlock66]

those cunts woz lucky to come out alive!!!

[CopywrightMyAss]

They failed to mention "How Much The Pilots Were Worth"

[dozzpollen]

it was an unfortunate event that the plane was obliterated.. you don't realize how much those things cost!

[NesoDomino]

WTF?!!! XD

FLAMES XD :DDDDD

[tehnoobstershow]

haha those guys got owned badly

[RGCx4SHOTx]

this was on the history chanale

[SmoothAsPB]

This was a test to do a very short landing to rescue American hostages in Iran way back in 1978 or so

[SenorSpode]

Just a tad off, but close...US hostages were taken on November 4, 1979; This took place in mid-1980 and hostages were released January 20, 1981.

[missgtsmith]

holy crap dude

[xtskistarx]

hey, i think this was not supposed to happen! :D

[flyfish3434]

Why can't I post...you need to hear more about this, but they won't let me post.

[nordistelillois]

Hercules are really able to take severe dammages ... very impressive .

[cartoonvideo]

The rockets were surposed to fire when the plane was in the ground but the pilot hit them too early

[machfron]

Planes are fragile and can't fly undamaged through steel like "UA 175".Watch 911 Taboo and September Clues 2008.

[LamenessFTW]

i imagine you would be completely blind when those things fire

[SenorSpode]

You would if you looked. Solution: Don't look.

[jackthejunky]

well that was a waste of about £200,000

[tktheo93]

that plane is worth many millions !

[Qaboomba]

i'm definately worth more!

[ffairlane57]

Lesson one:  Don't burn your self.

[iRandomMovie]

haha :)

[monnotman]

dood your retarded no one died on this crash it was a proto type for a C-130 with jet thrusters to slow its decent to land on a strip of land the size of a soccer field it was a genius idea just the pilot screwed it up but no one died and they decided that that the plain was fine how it was.

[gubjub]

as a matter of fact, it wasn't pilot error, it was a rocket failure. The top rockets fired on time, but the bottom rockets fired a simple couple seconds early creating a stall.

[sergeantilovesat]

Indeed, what a tragic loss of the first prototype vehicle, C130. The valuable aircraft was destroyed instantly, burning at 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, killing all 50 passengers. Sadly, the superheated scrapmetal of the legendary craft could not be salvaged. Even sadder, when the craft violently exploded, all 150 gallons of expensive jet fuel were burned away. Even months later, hundreds mourn the untimely loss of such an iconic airplane. Please remember the C130 in your prayers tonight.

[DeadMockracey]

It's not small, just ingrown.

[KingOfTheClutch]

Sad....soo sad.

Forensic48, must be sad when a tic tac looks big eh?

[DeadMockracey]

Tragically, I did.

[peekachoo0393]

KISS MY HAIRY ASS BITCH

[Glidescube]

um, next time lets use bigger breaks and parachutes.

[DeadMockracey]

Bigger brakes? WTF?

[wilfweb]

Retrotokets... Interesting!

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

ROFL!!!! "The current time is 9:15pm and the weather is sunny, please take care when stepping out of the aircraft and have a great day"

[amazingBullshit]

heute schon gekotzt?

[zidderaal]

Tüllich, digger!

[pf126p]

Hey, any landing that you can walk away from...

[MICHAELRG7321]

for real!!

[viperfan7]

This wasn't pilot error,this was caused due to, as the nariator sais, the horizontal rockets fired early, sence all the pilot did was intiate the firing of the rockets, was a computational error, I think some programer just lost his paycheck :P

[bkkghy]

They positioned forward-facing rockets to slow down the landing...

Right?

Is that what we're watching here?

Is there at least ONE government "scientist" out there that doesn't have his/her head up his/her ass?

Maybe I'm wrong. I might've missed something.

Maybe I'm the stupid guy in this equation...

[pf126p]

No... it is actually the government with its head up its ass... it's all for your protection... (sigh)

[600SELV12]

millions up in flames. it was the first tester

[TheLastOutpost]

the forward pointing rockets take stol a little far no?!

[0monkey4ever0]

tis is gay

[pinchecabron666]

lol

[SpeedoBurpgunRapture]

I give this crash a 5.3,not very dramatic but the flames were a nice touch,next time experiment more with flamable materials and large crowds.But I did enjoy the wing breaking off variation.

[richardf1b]

ROFL

[fiddl3r09]

how did this happends?

[jasonyeozhishen]

at the back have too?afterburner?

[stege]

what the fuck are the rockets??

[zwayd]

brakes for Quick stop .

they were going to use it to save the Hostages inside iran.

[perltyr]

What's wrong with saying"Darn thing blew up when we threw in the switch"? Every engineer in the world says so once a week.
