Casper, Wyoming Video

While she was at Riverton Airport we got some nice pictures--many of these B-17's are crashed and still in Wyoming Mountains Probably the most unique accident in Graham County history occurred at 4:30 pm on February 2, 1943, when a B-17 bomber on a routine training flight from Casper, Wyoming, to Oklahoma City crashed and exploded in a pasture seven miles north and one mile east of Bogue. Though a standard crew of a B-17 was ten, it was later reported that there were eleven men aboard, all of whom were killed. Carl McKissen was an eyewitness to the crash. He saw the plane as it broke through the low overhanging clouds, saw it circle once, then watched it strike the ground in his father's pasture and explode. Lee M. Holmes, then sheriff of Graham County, who arrived soon after the crash, said the plane plowed a ditch five to six feet deep, ten feet wide, and around one hundred feet long. Wreckage was strewn over a fifteen to twenty acre area. The B-17 was perhaps the most famous of World War II aircraft, second in size only to the B-29. The wingspan of the Flying Fortress was 104 feet, with a length of 75 feet and a height of 19 feet. The gross weight of the B-17 was 65000 pounds. The fuel tanks held 2780 gallons. When the plane crashed, it still had half of its fuel aboard. Members of the local branch of the American Legion guarded the wreckage through the night of February 2-3, until Army Lt. Eaton and an emergency squad from Walker Air Base arrived. Parts of the bodies <b>...</b>

4.33 min. | 2.0 user rating		 Watch the guy in the tan shirt and black hat. He is shocking horses. The rodeo world claims its horses are "born to buck," but SHARK's undercover video at the College National Rodeo Finals in Casper, Wyoming shows that they are electro shocked, in spite of rules to the contrary. The finals are produced by Harry Vold. SHARK investigators have repeatedly caught Vold's people shocking animals at rodeos including Cheyenne, Dodge City, Kansas City, and now the 2010 CNFR. Kirsten Vold, Harry Vold's daughter, says its OK to shock horses. False. The prod manufacturer says its products should not be used in rodeos, and that horses should NEVER be shocked under any circumstance, as they are too sensitive. And if Ms. Vold is claiming it is OK, why is the offender trying so hard to hide it? The College Rodeo Association (CRA) claims it is OK to shock stalling horses, but none of these horses are stalling. Care to try again, CRA? This cruel and fixed competition is sponsored by the City of Casper, the State of Wyoming, and various local and national corporate sponsors.
