Sad to see a airplane in that condition, Thought many c-5 are showing much stress in the airframe, I would be suprised if You would find stress cracks in any c-5 you look at, that could cause that break apart. Just glad all the crew survied and hope it wont happpen again, with the same scenareo. :)

I doubt even the USAF ground-crew rednecks could fix it with gaffer tape and superglue Ashar ;) ;D
