I was there in 1987, I was a Staff Sergeant (US Army) and I helped to get the people back to the buses after the C-130 cashed and blew up. I remember the heat from the crash and all that black smoke! People were walking around in shock crying and lost...I was running around gathering people up and putting them on the buses. It's was a crazy situation.
The drouge chute was normal. The pilot was not. I used to fly this very mission at pope with this pilot.He scared me a few days earlier when we accelerated after the drop.It was such a steep angle of attack the plane was trying to stall Just sad for all involved families and friends
