Military plane crash survivor
says soldiers brave through all
The Associated Press
POPE AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. — Cant. Michael Taylor
was one of the lucky ones. He was able to protect him
self from the flaming hulk of a fighter jet skidding to
ward him and hundreds of other Army troops.
“I made about three steps and realized I wasn’t going
to outrun it,” Taylor said Thursday. “So I started rolling
in the sand. When I hit the ground I didn’t think I was
going to get up again.
At least 20 soldiers died and 85 others were injured
when an F-l 6 collided in the air with a C-l 30 Hercules
transport trying to land on the same runway at the same
time Wednesday.
The C-l 30’s five-member crew landed safely and the
F-16’s two pilots ejected to safety. Their jet crashed in
flames and skidded across the runway at 180 mph,
spewing metal debris that punctured a C-l41 transport
plane’s fuel tanks, setting it ablaze. All six crew members
aboard die C-l41 escaped injury.
The death toll was expected to rise even higher, said
Dr. William Chapman at Womack Army Hospital. Nine
ty percent of the 58 people hospitalized Thursday had
severe bums, and up to 12 also had broken bones re
quiring eidier pins or amputations.
*T would anticipate our losses would increase,” he
said. “There are several in the hospital too unstable to
transfer.”
Taylor, a 3 5-year-old Army intelligence officer from
Columbus, Ohio, was burned as he ran from the fireball.
“There were kids w r hose cammies were still on fire
who didn’t know what to do,” Taylor said. “People
knocked them down and rolled them in the sand. People
with canteens were hosing others down.”
More than 500 soldiers were in a staging area near
die C-l 41 that was hit by the skidding jet.
Crews towed other aircraft away from die fire, said
Brig. Gen Bobby Floyd, commander of the 23rd Wing at
the air base.
“An awful lot of individuals risked dieir lives to move
aircraft and do things,” Floyd said. “There were heroes
there."
About 175 to 200 soldiers were in several aircraft
mock-ups — a model of a plane with just one door for
paratroopers to practice jumps before doing the real
thing. Many of the injured soldiers were trapped in the
mockups, said Lt. Gen. Hugh Shelton, commander of the
18th Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg.
“Everyone pitched in. Soldiers were saying, ‘Don’t
take care of me, take care of my buddy,’ ” Shelton said.
Investigators led by an Air Force colonel arrived
Thursday to determine what went wrong. Findings
weren’t expected for 30 days.
Many soldiers got an early warning of the disaster
from Capt. Jesse Farrington, 35, of Milton, Fla. Far
rington, an Army helicopter pilot, said he saw the
pilots eject over the runway and knew something
was terribly wrong.
