      That was in June 2002. Sadly, not the first time that has happened to a C-130.

      Wing spar fatigue failure. About 90 C-130s have been grounded in the past years for cracks in the spar caps.

          I remember seeing that on the news when it happened.

          The C-130's have had a bunch of problems.
