Biden will obviously believe it was gremlins as he has to spend 20 hours a day in the basement watching old Looney Tunes as he is already looney tunes himself.

One guest (name unclear) on Steve Bannon's radio, just before it closed at 12:00 EDT), reported a British C-130 that "he had flown in on earlier" broke its wing and crashed flying into and out of Kabul's single runway airport.
No other confirmation, no other details. Those three on-line listening and talking did not react, seemed to already know it, so - perhaps "older news" from a previous day or even previous week?

C-130 Hercs are tough birds. They don’t lose wings willy nilly. Even completely overloaded and with large amounts of airframe time, it is odd.
An anti-aircraft missle will detach a wing pretty quickly, though. This will be an interesting investigation.
Godspeed to those who died and their families. R.I.P.

Lockheed engineers should look at redesigning critical failure points on the wings and develop an inspection and maintenance schedule to address stress fractures and mechanical failures.
Hopefully it just the older C-130 models and of the later ones.
“British C130 (flying out of Afghanistan) Lost Its Wing, Crashed.”
Biden Response: They obviously failed to follow the proper procedures when bolting-in the wing.
I think that’s old news. He was saying he was on a flight before that one and he could have been in it and died.
Biden Response: They XXX TRUMP obviously failed to follow the proper procedures when bolting-in the wing.
Doubt it just happened. It would have created a fireball that would be seen for miles, and be all over the news.

If the Lockheed Electra should prove a point about wing loading and wing failure.
The Electra lost wings due to aerodynamic oscillations in the engine nacelles. Once those are stiffened, the aircraft, as the P-3 Orion had a long and successful history.
Right - but they caused the wings to tear off after a certain amount of flights; just like bending a piece of metal back and forth until it breaks.
An interesting thing about the Azores was that the Navy had all the aircraft assigned. The Army operated the tugboats at the Deep Water Terminal. The Air Force was in charge of Lajes Air Force Base yet had no aircraft assigned there.
An Army Chief Warrant Officer living in the off-base Portuguese apartment across the courtyard from my wife and I, was one of the tug boat captains.
Ahhhhh!
The wonders of Pentagon bureaucracy and organisation!
I thought that the Brits used Hawker Siddeley Nimrods...
Yes, more likely took a hit and lost a wing.
Any confirmation yet on this?
No, no more information from anywhere else => most likely, the plane crash (wing failure during heavily-loaded/emergency combat maneuvering while coming into Kabul was what the Steve Bannon guest implied, not a missile impact midair) this was a story from the guest repeating something that happened on a previous trip into Kabul.
but, I was surprised to find that many military cargo (C-130) planes crashes in so few years. Sobering.
