<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It's upsetting that the information was first reported by the Army Times when I'm sure families hadn't been notified by the CNO yet. It's a horrible thing to have happened, and I am heartbroken for their families.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This crash was just so rotten...makes me want to puke at the cause. I was never rated, but I was a private pilot. We always fully worked the controls before taxi...every single time.<br />Just sad...<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.airforcemag.com/AircraftAccidentReports/Documents/2016/100215_C130J_JALALABAD.pdf">http://www.airforcemag.com/AircraftAccidentReports/Documents/2016/100215_C130J_JALALABAD.pdf</a>
