Hercules Unchained

A surprise funnel cloud touched down at New Castle County Airport, Delaware, last September and damaged several C-130s of the 166th Airlift Wing. The C-130s, chained to the tarmac, were lined up about fifty feet apart until high winds blew one C-130 loose and sent it skimming wing down 150 yards across the ramp. Another C-130 sat tail down on top of the forward fuselage of yet another C-130. Two other C-130s spun nose up, tail down before crashing. Four people were injured in the tornado.
