The aircraft is two and a half football fields long
Nice to see that reporters still don't know jack about aircraft. It's 250 feet long. Not yards. Prayers for the crew.

First take of the news item says the C-5 is two and a half football fields long.
When did we start flying aircraft carriers?

Sorry for the loss!
Shows the hazards our military (at home, even in "peacetime") are constantly exposed to.

WBOC has learned that a C-5 airplane crashed this morning in a field off of Route 9, about one mile south of the Dover Air Force Base. According to an assistant fire chief with the Dover Fire Department, the plane lost its second engine and the plane crashed. The plane was broken into three pieces: the nose, fuselage and tail. It is not known yet if there were any injuries or fatalities. According to WBOC's Laura Mazzeo, two military helicopters landed shortly after 7:30 a.m. to assist in the crash recovery efforts. More details forthcoming.

"The aircraft is two and a half football fields long," Ummm, that doesn't sound right, 750' long?

Resisting the urge to speculate. I see these birds take off over my house from time to time, and they never fail to impress me.
