I just checked a modern copy I have lying around and couldn't find that particular phrasing. However there are lots of other gems such as "a malfunction of the extraction system that causes cargo to move can be extremely hazardous."

Oh really. You don't say.

Here is a video of the crash from a dashcam. This is probably the most detailed view of the stages of a plane crash I've ever seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLAvN4IUzoI

Might have been a C17A/21/26 instead of a C130. I’ll dig tonight to find it.
