Faulty work done at Robins Air Force Base in Houston County is being blamed for a military plane crash that killed 16 service members in 2017, an investigation found.
On July 10, 2017, a U.S. Marine Corps KC-130 Hercules crashed near Itta Bena, Miss., killing the 15 Marines and a U.S. Navy sailor who were on board, AJC.com previously reported. It suffered a catastrophic failure at 20,000 feet, crashed and scattered debris over a wide area of farmland.
A report of the investigation conducted by the Fourth Marine Aircraft Wing was obtained by the Macon Telegraph, and it concluded that the crash was caused by a propeller blade that broke. Corrosion was found on the blade, and a protective anodize coating over the corrosion was deemed as proof that the damage was there when the propeller was overhauled at Robins in 2011.
The blade, which was on the engine closest to the left side of the fuselage, tore into the fuselage and set off a chain reaction, bringing the plane down, the report said.
Nothing the crew could have done would have prevented the crash, according to the report.

Except ISIS doesn’t have people in the US. And the whack jobs that consider themselves followers are too stupid to know which end of a screwdriver to use.
I wouldn't trust an illegal to any more than sweep an empty hanger floor. Definitely wouldn't let him near aircraft.
No, fags are good for nothing.
But you're right, 9/11 demonstrated we can trust the mooseSlime. Wait. Strike that one.
You fail again.
And there are illegal immigrants fixing US aircraft?
Are you delusional?
Video must have been pulled, no longer available at that site.
Thank you!!!!!
