I can't believe there's nothing on this $25/30+ million dollar transport that's worth saving? Looks like perfectly flat surround area and there's enough personnel watching it being blown up to protect it until it could be taking away I guess in parts? Even if the frame is crack there are 4 engines, wings, tires,cockpit equipment, etc, something on it had to working it was flying. Doesn't seem like a waste, does England or the USAF have that many C-130s to say it's too much trouble lets just blow it up? It Just seems wrong to me I have to assume who ever was in charge knew what they were doing and the areas wasn't safe enough to carry out such repair/removal operations.
