The pictures of this remarkable crash were forwarded to me by a fellow who
is apparently in Iraq, judging by his assessment of the situation. (I've
seen these pix posted in other places, but not with the details he
provided.)

The C-130 in question made a night landing on a closed -- but not NOTAM'd as
such -- runway. The results are obvious.

It's amazing -- the NOTAM system in Iraq doesn't seem to work any better
than the one in the U.S. Although -- unless we live in Chicago -- we
usually don't worry about runways being ripped up in the middle of the
night.
