the parachute you see early, is called a drouge chute.It pulls out the main chutes.The tank deployed like it was supposed to.The piolt had terrible judgment and killed four of the crew. the crew.I know,I flew with Capt,Bardo.He scared me when we left the drop zone, with his steep climb.Tech SGT. Matar was my instructor loadmaster for this type of drop called LAPES.I took some time to get over this crash,but we had to go right back and do more airdrops shortly after this.

This is incorrect. The man in the jeep who died was not the son of the captain/pilot of the plane.

this was during a big exhibition that was put on every year at fort Bragg. I was actually in the air getting ready to jump on that DZ when it happend. The DZ is known as Sicily and the extraction system is known as LAPES or Low altitude Parachute Extraction System. One of my buddies actually was on the ground and recieved the soldiers medal for running into the crash scene and rescuing one of the crew members. I don't know if the crew member survived or not. RIP to those that perished that day.

Parachute was deployed too early, and the angle of descent was too steep. But RIP to the pilot and copilot I think they died

You can just see why that happen. Look at 0:08. The Pilot did a terrible move plus the pilot did not even slow down. If your going to do something like that just do it like how you would land the plane.
My father's lapse instructor got killed on this
he came in too high and slammed the ground
and My mother saw this crash
It was very sad

We were on the flight line at Pope waiting to recover our aircraft when we got word they they were all coming back. After parking them and the crews departing we noticed that 68-0945 was not back in chocks and we were all taken back to the sqaudron and told what had happened. It was a very sad day in my 24 year career on C-130's that I will never forget.
RIP brothers you are not forgotten..
