  • The center wing box failed due to metal fatigue. The C-130 does not have a spar, therefore all the stress within the wing is concentrated (mostly) in two locations, the outer wing attachments and the center wing box. When the C-130 flies this mission the wing loads are much greater because of it's

    non-standard configuration. Sadly 3 highly experienced aviators perished.

  • The NTSB determined the cause to be metal fatigue in the right wing, and also inadequate maintenance procedures to detect said fatigue. No pilot error, so they were most likely flying at maneuvering speed for their load. The report # is LAX02GA201 if you want to look it up.

    ...wings don't just snap of...wtf dude, you just saw it happen.

  • I bet that very same plane had been flying re-supply missions in Nam, I wonder how many 'air-hours' that airframe had on it.. If somebody knew then what happened here could've been avoided.

  • How the fuck did this happen? Wins don't just snap off.

  • OMG, so sad, my heart is broken with this down in your duty, air fireman crew, and my favorite plane

  • Ouch

  • I would hate to be one of the guys watching that.

  • what caused the crash?
