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.

I'm only able to listen to the radio coverage and they are saying the nose in front of the flight-deck sheared off and also possible tail damage. But otherwise the plane appears to be intact.

Mostly intack.
Hope all the crew and Pax survived.

Prayers for the safety to all those on board.
This is one of our worst nightmares. My daughter is loadmaster on the C-17...and there is always that worry about your kid flying these huge birds....they go up but worry like hell how well they come down. And it doesnt help when she lets us know when something isnt 'working right' and they needed to be grounded for the fixes.

I was a flight engineer on C-5s back in the late 80s. From the looks of the photo on post 35 the worst injuries would have been for anyone sitting in the area aft of the bunk rooms behind the cockpit.
