This happened last month, but this the first I've seen of it. H/T to Brad over at Bring the Heat

As mishaps, this is fairly rare, and also horrific, going by the description of things and how badly the crew was hurt. I've seen tankers have the fuse rupture and while fairly spectacular, they usually involve just the airplane. Jesus
Hope the crew recovers ok

Ouch! The only saving grace is that it happened on the ground.
