Steve's Video Of The Day: Serious C-130 Hercules Fire Tanker Malfunction

Well, today I am off to see the "Vet" in Winnipeg for my 6 month medical as well as an EKG. Everything should go well, I feel better than I have in years, not that I ever felt poorly. I have always had extreme good health all my life, which is so much more valuable than wealth. Anyway, here is today's video. It is a crash, and there was loss of life. But hey, that is life, in every industry. You never know when your card will get pulled from the "deck of life".
