This video was on the 'headlines' today, but is apparently old news.

Not to mention including "crash" in the subject line implies something far more catastrophic than a one-wheel-up landing. My first thought was "oh no, we've lost another tanker crew!"

Yep. Fox news uploaded the video this morning. If it is an old video, somebody really dropped the ball.

Weird that the incident occurred in 2012 and a video just gets uploaded to the news sites. Someone is really late on doing their job.

4th June 2012 according to YouTube vids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz-fxKQEld4

With all the fires going on out west an intern was probably told to find some exciting tanker footage and this is what they found. Tanker 55 is still parked there at it's base. I can see it from my house as it is 2-1/2 miles west of me. I don't know if they even plan on fixing it.
