Question.

Bowser — 6/17/2002 1:52:02 PM (archived)

What looks like a fire-suppressing C-130 which crashed: It looks as if it caught fire at the base of one wing, then lost both wings in very short order. The fuselage looks intact as it goes in.

Any ideas as to what would take off the wings of a large transport plane and leave the fuselage whole?

        It was a C-130A. That means it was almost 50 years old. - Larry J - 6/19/2002 1:41:23 PM
