A Turkish C-130 'Hercules' military transport plane crashed on its way back from Azerbaijan near the Georgia-Azerbaijan border; no details on casualties are available yet. The aircraft had taken off from Azerbaijan and was reportedly carrying Turkish servicemen who participated in the recent military parade in Baku.

Weird thing is that the video shows a plane which is already badly damaged before the crash. See the closer video on the right.

Twenty soldiers, including high-ranking officers, were killed. This was likely a showdown or intimidation whose full implications we won't know. It's likely a Mossad or CIA attack. Like what they did to Iran via Azerbaijan.

It’s obvious that the plane is in at least two pieces. You can see the fuselage on the right and the wings are clearly missing the whole back portion of the plane.

There was no way this aircraft was ever going to be able to stay airborne (according to Captain Steeeve), as the 2nd engine (tail engine) had a compressor stall in addition to the left engine completely detatching from the plane. Picture 6 from Beau's post above, shows the compressor stall happening. The only power they had was from the right engine. It wasn't enough to stay airborne and explains why the aircraft went into the ground sideways.

That tells part of the story, between photo #1 and #2 (tires still on the ground) the engine was already lifting up and away from the wing housing.

Horrible.
