Aviation News-Breaking News C-5 Crash Dover air base.

A C-5 cargo airplane with 17 people aboard crashed near the Dover Air Force Base Monday morning, according to a state public safety official.
There is no word on fatalities but Department of Public Safety assistant director Allen Metheny said some injuries have been reported. Some patients are being taken to a local hospital and others were being taken to a trauma center.
It's not clear if the airplane was landing or taking off when it crashed around 6:45 a.m.
The airplane broke into three pieces, with the cockpit separated from the fuselage and a wing shattered.
The C-5 is one of the Air Force's largest cargo planes and is designed to carry very heavy cargo loads on transcontinental deployments.

I think the last C5 crash was during a flight from Ramstein during the Gulf war 2 There were survivors among the crew. It was a cargo flight and not a trooping flight.

No . I can.t remember why the C5 crashed .I think it aqua planed on a wet runway ?The herc was destroyed after an explosion on board just on rotation. Something went off in the cargo hold . Everyone got out i think . UI have it on video somewhere. I taped 96 hours of the first Gulf war and 40 of the 2nd.
