This Hercules C130 went down on June 17th (2002) while it was dropping fire retardant material on a 10,000 acre forest fire near Walker, California. The wings suddenly snapped off and the aircraft crashed near a commercial area. All the 3 crew members were killed.

  • @Zergcerebrates

    Your right. It was made in the US.

    If it was made in China the plane wouldn't be able to even fly.

  • @jonnygouda1 most likely metal fatigue - these tankers are usually ex-military air frames that have seen a lot of hours in the air and as a result become very fatigued. The wing joints must have failed under the stress of repeated low-level flying

  • Well more fire to put out

  • they are dead

  • @Goarmy617 Me too dude. Miss John tho.

  • nah, i think they survived

  • @pwnshot22

    I came from a John Denver vid thinking this was his plane crash haha

  • i came here from a lynyrd skynyrd vid thinking this was thier plane crash.. :(

  • 'a passer by shot...' swear she was going to say 'shot down the aircraft'

  • @ Stone33400: we also have the F-22 Raptor. In technicality, the raptor is stealth, and more expensive than you "rafale" bucket of bolts. and yes you guys do make good wine and cheese :P

  • @Stone33400 also im told that viatnam war era,ex military planes had unlogged hours and this could throw the maintenance. but my best guess would be that the engineers didnt realize there was a problem with the wings entill this hapened or a service bulletin existed and h&p just didnt bother . h&p had one other tanker do the same thing. i hate to rule out coincidence but damn, keep the wings on your planes.
