A dramatic change of mood from my previous post, this video shows a C-130 experiencing in-flight structural failure.
As the aircraft releases the fire retardant material, its wings snaps off. Probably an aircraft that didn't go through proper inspection or maintenance.
All 3 crew members died.
An interesting quote by a commenter on Youtube. May or may not be true but the circumstances mentioned does sound like something that would cause this disaster.
it belonged to hawkins and powers avaition in greybull wyoming, a friend of mine worked as a mechanic there,the c130a had wing spar design flaws but h&p were not notified of them until after this,this plane was drug out of a military junk yard by the gov. & given to h&p,that plane should never have ben put back in the air,my friend now works minden air on well built lockheed p2v airtankers that underwent extreme inspection,if i wanted to travel i'd be working on them to as a mechanic - doubleslottedflaps
