U.S. C-130 Makes Emergency Landing in Baghdad Field

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A U.S. Air Force C-130 transport plane with 38 people aboard made an emergency landing in a barren field northeast of Baghdad's international airport on Friday, the Air Force said.

There were no significant injuries, the Air Force said, adding all six crew and 32 passengers had been accounted for.


The plane made the emergency landing because of suspected mechanical problems, an Air Force spokeswoman said.

There was no indication of any hostile fire, the Air Force said in a separate statement.

It was not immediately clear how far the plane was from the airport when it landed. The C-130, a workhorse of the U.S. military, carries cargo and troops.

Glad to see that your ability to read hasn't improved. You really should work harder at your propaganda. It really isn't very impressive.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

From my deepest heart, I also glad to see your diminishing intellectuality in viewing the global reality due to daily hardship of living in southern U.S states, Miss Vavoom. Have a nice day!
