OT~~~~~~Let's inspect those wings a little closer , OK? C-141 Fleet Grounded After Wing Collapse Unexplained C-141 Wing Failure Stops Ops C-141 Fleet Grounded After Wing Collapse; No Fire, Minimal Contamination A (roughly) 30-year-old C-141 being refueled at Memphis International Airport Friday night had a mishap that no one can explain just yet: during routine refueling, a wing collapsed,spilling 9000 gallons of jet fuel into a drainage ditch. Air Mobility Command immediately ordered the grounding of all 90 C-141s, anywhere in the world, until a determination can be made about why this happened. Engineers from Warner Robins Air Logistics Center (GA) were dispatched, to determine if the collapse was an isolated failure, or a harbinger of a big, perhaps fleetwide, problem. The spilled fuel was contained in the drainage ditch by quick-thinking emergency workers in Memphis. One crewman received a broken leg; another reported an injured shoulder. If the machine, attached to the 164th Airlift Wing of the Tennessee Air National Guard, had taken off, it would have gone to Ramstein AFB in Germany. FMI: www.af.mil
