Cargo C130 Crashes At Fort Bragg Killing Five
A C 130 cargo plane on a tank drop maneuver crashed near Fort Bragg killing five servicemen and an Army soldier on the ground during a public exercise. The crash dumped soot on 4 000 spectators as the aircraft skidded into the woods after coming in hard and steep from about 150 mph. A board of officers will determine the cause at Pope Air Force Base.
