Right you are,411A,

The C-5 also has hydraulic fuses throughout the systems and have saved loads of problems. Many installed after the Saigon crash attributed to loss of flight controls after the rear pressure door failed. Regrettably, the ramps and doors must be pressurized by design and size. Loads of fuses and pins to ensure that won't happen again.
