>>2058564Separation of onje or more prop blades from #2 engine. Slice through fuselage forward of wing.
>The front fell offAerodynamic forces rip the aft fuselage off the center section. Center section is the strongest part of the airplane because the wing box is such a stiff structure.
There was a similar crash of a USMC C-130T in 2017 or so. That aircraft was not all that old (built in 1993), but poor maintenance failed to inspect the corroded prop blades. The Turkish one, a C-130E, was built in 1968.
Poor bastards didn't stand a chance.
