Fire Fighting C130 Crashes

The military has grounded their fleet of seven fire fighting C130s after the eighth crashed in South Dakota.

At least one of it's crew was killed in the crash, which is being blamed on fatigue cracks in the wings.

The remaining planes will be cleared once they all have been thoroughly checked.

It is a really bad time for the planes to be missing from action, due to the amount of fires across the country.

With the eight gone, only fourteen C130s, which are all contracted to the federal government, remain in the fight.
