Safety history

April 15, 1966AccidentHull loss
On a flight from Rivers AFB, Manitoba, to North Battleford, a technical failure occurred on the front cargo door that detached in flight. The crew decided to reduce his altitude and to attempt an emergency landing. The aircraft eventually completed a belly landing in a field located near North Battleford, slid for several yards and came to rest.
Lockheed C-130 Hercules
The door opened in flight, detached and was later found 15 miles away. The causes were both material failure and maintenance error. The latching mechanism, consisting of four eyebolts, had failed allowing the door to tear off and with it, the top of the fuselage. Full accident record
