The C-130 stores fuel in the wing spaces - that's what the flames you see are fuelled by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 It was helping to douse a forest fire at the time - I remember seeing it on the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 It does look like an RC plane to me. I'll be very surprised if that is real, unless the company running the plane just don't do regular fatigue checks on their aircraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Remember that one too. It would take a lot of stress to shear the wings off a C-130. They're specifically designed for very short take off and landing so the wings would have to be stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Seems real from what THIS says. I also heard that this company lost 2 C130's in a matter of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it looks false. but don't know for sure since I havent seen a real one happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-K Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 why does it show a close up of the plane then when the wings fall off the camera is much further away and slightly blurred ? It just looks like an RC plane like this one :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgN7toNH3ng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverSoop Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 It does seem real and i do remember seeing that on the news too. That woman who was talking in the vid, she works for Fox news so that makes me more sure its real, as she is always on the news channel... And if you listen closely, some guy shouts out, "its crashed"! Didnt sound fake... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mattsupra Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 just wondering how you say " its crashed" and make it sound fake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 just wondering how you say " its crashed" and make it sound fake? Thats the thing, its the way the bloke said it, he sounded generally shocked. Dont like to bring this up but when those b*stards when into the twin towers, the woman recording, was swearing and all sorts and it was the same sort of tone of voice...

juanchan Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Just spoken to some guys at work and it was real. Apparently the company used to be known for carrying more water than the planes were capable of, without upgrading them. No surprise they fell off then! Still looks fake to me, but apparantly it's real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dini_the_owl Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Its definately real, i am a bit of an avaition boffin if i must admit it and i can vouch for it, i have seen a much longer clip than that and it does about 5 or 6 runs before it crashes and nearly hits one of the trees on one run.

Guest mattsupra Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 i was watching tv when the twin towers got hit and i thought omfgg to say the least so if someone actually saw this and was recording it then jeeeees not a good ending to people trying to stop a fire matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Its strange how people react when faced with traumatic events. I was standing right in front of two Mig 29s that crashed at Fairford, 1993. No body said anything for a good few seconds afterwards. I'm sure people just couldnt believe what had just happened. http://www.crazyaviation.com/images/fairford2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupra Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Look's real enough to me, shame for the crew . I have a soft spot for the C130. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
