The accident happened on Friday night a week before the news link. I wondered how long it would be before it became public. The investigation is ongoing and won't be closed for a while. The crew was from my squadron and I know them all very well. Fortunately nobody was hurt. One of the loadmasters is a good friend of mine. So is one of the pilots. Those of you that get my occasional emails about my travels and other nonsense will remember the loadmaster (Dan) from the stories about taking the C-17 to the Dayton airshow and our road trip to France when we destroyed the rental car.
Tom,
When they say less than 30 hours, it was actually quite a bit less! She was only left laying in the dirt that long because of the investigation and it was convienient. Had there been a need, she could have been moved much faster.
