OT: Norwegian Airforce C-130 crashed
My most sincere condolences to the families of the five officers of Norwegian Royal Airforce, who died in the crash of their plane in Northern Sweden while taking part in a multinational Scandinavian exercise, when their C-130J crashed in to Mount Kebnekaise. Condolences to the Norwegian people and the fellow servicemen of the deceased.

I hadn't heard about this. I'll have to have a look at some news sites to see if I can get more info. Any word on the cause of the crash? Mechanical failure, bad weather? Mountains are pretty hard not to notice so I'm guessing it probably wasn't pilot error?

They were flying in a bad weather, so it might just have been the case, the plane hit the mountain and exploded. This happened already a couple of days ago, but they were able to locate the plane just last night and determine, the crew had perished in the crash.
