Thanks Mike. I recall the narrator stating that the fire got into the other engine, right next to number three. From the Sea King helo which rescued everyone, the video showed that the wing area above the inboard engine looked charred. What a miracle that the sea was calm-that must have influenced the Acft. Commander's decision to put it down on the water? By the way, you probably can't ditch a C-130, or other high-wing planes.
