US Lockheed C-130 Air Attack Hercules (Fire Fighter) crashes in NSW Australia - Drone in flight path?????

Thread: Breaking - Report of C130 Fire Tanker crash in Australia

Sorry our US friends are going to wake up to this news.

I'll try to find more info.

I remember years ago here in California the same kind of plane crashed during a fire. Broke apart in mid air and dropped like a rock into the valley below.

There is footage of that in the vid I posted above.

It's a hunk of metal. Complex and difficult to maintain.

Half the people who build them are drug/alcohol addicts.

I wasn't surprised when I was 5 years old and heard about plane crashes. I already had a decent grasp on how physics worked.

Very astute observations and recollection of memory in your formative years...

I can also recall my circumcision done at birth. Raw primal terror that words will never describe.

I've always been quiet, self-reflective and meditated when I was young; without really realizing that I was. There are people who claim to recall their births or being in the womb.

Of course, the mainstream says otherwise; and people will believe what is convenient to them.

For example, if you're circumcised or you circumcised your own children; the last thing you will want to read is what I just said.

The conscious mind naturally sways from trauma and will use whatever defensive measure that works. That's why you'll get a lot of circ'ed guys using humor. It's just another form of defense to say it looks like an ant-eater otherwise. Or make fun of dick-cheese.

Kind of sad really.

Apologies for the navel gazing AC Sheldon Cooper above.

Back to the tread topic.

You put into question my recollection. I was on topic until you weren't.

There is a reason why I called you Sheldon Cooper pal. Figure it out. In the meantime fuckovski.

ATSB sending investigators to the scene. Preliminary report due in 30 days.

An active crime scene is in place at the site of the C-130 Hercules crash in the Snowy Mountains,
@nswpolice
say. "The current situation is already dangerous for people, property & the environment." A reminder to drone users that flying near an emergency can increase that danger.

Shouldn't let them build dams, do floodplain harvesting and build over 42,000 fracking wells in an already dry country.

Blocking natural water ways tends to make things even drier.

US MSM picking up on the story

The only thing I have from the field reports are that the plane came down, it's crashed and there was a large fireball associated with that crash," said Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons.

That's about it for the relevant articles out there.

Not sure about the reporter reference to drone and stating a crime scene has been established.

I'll dig around for more info.

It's like someone slamming their head on the wall and then complaining about a headache.

People do it with their health too by eating poor diets, getting injections, and expecting quick fixes from prescription drugs only to then complain about the rise of cancer.

Y'all some special things here on Earth.

Work with nature, not against it.

Your Aboriginals had it right, as did the Indians in North America.

The populace their now are those who work against nature with great struggle. It always end poorly when your type grows too large; this time is global in nature.

Hey Phennn

Pull ya finger out.

such a dangerous job, they shouldn't be manning those planes with 3 people just one crazy good pilot.

Really? You flown a Hercules solo? Deploying fire retardant?

.

Just speculating but can turbine aircraft stay airborne if they fly through the smoke and hot air above the fire ?
May cause a stall or engine failure ?

Over to the experts on that one. TBH I wouldn't have a clue....

One last

I don't believe that hitting a small drone would hurt a C-130, unless the pilot reacted in some stupid way.

Not sure of that entire drone thing myself. Prob just a reporter sensationalising.
