Hard Landing in a C-130J

While Flying from (ex)Walker AAF in Kansas to Concordia Ks i experienced an engine #2 complete shutdown... I quickly Diverted to Russel Mun. about 2 miles south of where i was. On 3 engines the yaw was near uncontrolable to keep the aicraft aloft and some idiot put a tree on the end of the runway... so to dodge that would mean to set the aicraft down like a brick at 140kts... upon impact the port gears gaveway and the port wing dug into the ground throwing the aicraft into a hellish skid off the runway... heres the end results and a diagram. Enjoy

Did you have the crash function enabled? pretty neat.. it's hard for me to position a aircraft like that even by crashing. ;D

Yes, crash detection was enabled, otherwise i wouldnt have tried dodging that tree  ;D i wish it left torn up ground behind it when that happens... that would be an awesome effect if its possible and/or somebody wants to do that!

Hint:  When losing power on the #3 engine, compensate by pulling back on the #2 engine to null out the yaw.  Granted you will need to run #1 and #4 near full throttle to maintain flight speed if you have any kind of load on, but its better than trying to fight all that yaw.
