Both airplanes landed safely, so not a major news item.

For those wanting to see the post-accident photos without scrolling to page 18 and 19, see
http://www.c-130hercules.net/content.ph ... ults-crews .
A sizeable amount of the vertical tail of the C-27J chewed off,
and somehow the C-130 propeller of engine 4 escaped a direct hit. The nacelle -and wing were not so Lucky.
