KOLO, citing fire department sources, reported as many as 60 people were injured, including about 30 in critical condition.

Incredible pics. Prayers for families of those killed. I saw that last night on the news, just terrible. You're right Chech - Pictures of everything nowadays. Here is a video of that C17 Globemaster crashing in Alaska in 2010. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Layz-3XxZC4 Title: Re: Plane Crashes Into Stands at Nevada Air Race, Causing 'Mass-Casualty Situation' Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on September 17, 2011, 10:50:59 AM I don't remember hearing about that C17 crash. The system I work on has a size requirement to be transportable (roll on/roll off) by C17 so I'm somewhat famililar with that plane. Just saw one landing in Huntsville last week.

Sounds like the most obvious cause of the crash was a failure (loss) of a portion of the tail section. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/19/uk-crash-airrace-idUSLNE78I01820110919 Title: Re: Plane Crashes Into Stands at Nevada Air Race, Causing 'Mass-Casualty Situation' Post by: ssmith general on September 19, 2011, 06:11:32 AM (http://www.whec.com/whecimages/reno_crash42.jpg) Sounds like the most obvious cause of the crash was a failure (loss) of a portion of the tail section. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/19/uk-crash-airrace-idUSLNE78I01820110919 The flutter of losing the control surface also explains the strange noise.

True. I saw an interview this morning with an FAA investigator. He wouldn't acknowledge the damaged tail section, just saying they would sift through the wreckage for evidence, blah blah blah. He came across sounding like he wanted to spend as much time on site as possible, rather than discuss the most salient evidence to date.
