It happens. A US MCKC 130 Torres self apart somewhere over the south United States a couple of years ago. A firefighting model shed its wings, there have been other accidents. But yes. They do tear themselves apart. Usually maintenance is the culprit. And this is an e-model, they are currently on the J model I believe. This was not a new one.

"In 2002, a C-130, call sign Tanker 130 owned by Hawkins & Powers Aviation of Greybull, Wyoming and operated under contract to the United States Forest Service (USFS), had its wings fall off mid-flight as it was fighting northern Californian wildfires."
