US Air Force Super Hercules Crashes On Takeoff During Nighttime Mission

On Friday 2 October 2015, a USAF Lockheed C-130J-30 registration 08-3174, tried to takeoff in the middle of the night, but a NVG case wouldn't let it happen. Don't forget to sub, like and comment for more videos.

They didn’t do a check to make sure the controls had their full range of motion before takeoff? RIP

[@jugheadjones5458]

My thought too.

It's dark out there, they probably didn't remember that they put the nvg case there

[@kcindc5539]

@@Randomly_Browsing that appears to be the case (no pun intended). Between the expedited offload/onload and the visual limitations of the NVG’s inside the cockpit, PLUS any possibility they didn’t do a full control free-movement check during taxi….. all the holes in the Swiss cheese align

They died because of a eye glasses case? They crashed a four year old plane. RIP Captains.

The tower is still standing, but the three inside died?

[@shibukurian79]

You win "Dumbest Comment" for the moment, but don't worry, I'm sure someone else will compete for it.

Middle east? Why not say the name of the country? Afghanistan.
