Notes:

A shot I wish I never had the oppurtunity to take. Please keep the crew of this C5 in your thoughts. From what I've heard every person seated in the nose section (which you can see is perpendicular to the rest of the aircraft) has a broken back. I appologize for the lower than normal quality, this shot was taken from a mile away on a warm day (this is the closest you can get).

Absolutely amazing no one died, I watched this live on FOX news from work and was blown away by the whole thing , A real testament to the sturdy old Galaxy !

i heard that only three have been kept in the hospital, so i dont think that they all had broken backs

So lucky men you are. Impressive hard landing.
