C-130 Hercules mishap. Terrible disaster.
Plane Crash
I thought i should add some info, mind this is from a comment and may not be entirely accurate.
More info:
"1) The pilot was descending at a rate of 2,200ft/min from an altitude of 1,100ft.
2) The pilot had tried a similiar stunt 2 days prior during a practice run, and was lucky enough to pull out. When confronted by his crew for reckless flying he only laughed at them, subsequently the navigator went to the Commander and DEMANDED to be removed from that plane (lucky for him). Though the commander did switch nav's he did however applaud the pilot for such fine flying, instead of grounding his butt."
"It was Sicily, At Ft. Bragg in 1987 at the CAPEX. Capabilities exercise. I was the wrecker operator on duty that day with the 782 MT BN 82nd Abn. The CAPEX continued on down at the firing range after the explosion. There was also a heavy drop (Gamma goat) that was dropped in a farm about 15 miles away from the intended dropsite. LAPES was a good system back in the sheriden days. - fj40jeep (6 months ago)

This happened on Ft. Bragg, Sicily DZ. I was at this CAPEX (Capabilities Excercise) and saw this happen.
The a/c was #0945. Me and my crew worked on it only a couple days before, at Pope AFB, where we, and the plane, were stationed. We even had to go pee in the bottle after this event.
The Co-pilot and flight engineer lived. The co-pilot resumed flying, though he was burned pretty badly. The FE never returned to flight status, as far as I know.
It was a dreadful event.
hooo my fucking god damn come on pilot and co-pilot you sleep ??
fuckin' Army almost laughable when he says 'ladies and gentleman please stay in the bleachers' like they're all gonna get up and run directly into the fireball ... flying is like skiing: hotdoggers get what's coming to them ...
my father was a standardization p.i.c. and a.c.c. for over 20 years in C-54s, C-130s, C-141s he never put a scratch on government property he & crew even survived an engine out ferrying an old C-47 across the Atlantic and made it back to solid ground stateside on one engine ... of course his crews loved him and his standardization f.e. was one of his best friends and they visited us and I dated his daughter. I am a US Army veteran officer and served with 16th Inf Reg and the 101st A/B Div
I had to favorite this because I have sat in those very same bleachers during training exercises at Bragg
