Emergency responders are on the scene of a C-5 Galaxy crash, April 3, 2006 at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware.
Problems became apparent about 6:30 a.m., shortly after takeoff, said Mark Voorhis, a spokesman for the Air Mobility Command. The plane was headed for Kuwait with a stopover in Spain. The pilot circled back to Dover Air Force Base for an emergency landing, but the plane skidded and split apart about a half-mile from the runway. Emergency crews rescued the airmen and doused the jet with foam. No casualties.
