Just wondering, found this looking around in the gallery, what exactly is going on? Is this from a crash?

I would not think that photo is of a crash. I have seen several recovered barrels from crash sites and they were never in good condition. They usually look like a pretzel

That is an EOD team preparing to blow up a jammed gun.

I'm not saying at all that Coach is wrong, but is it possible that this is 81-0985's gun after it ran off the runway at Spang and did a nose dive into the dirt? Just a thought!

In my opinion Coach is right because if it was just a damaged gun there would be no need to place it in a "pit", it could be demiled in other ways. They are going to blow that sucker in the picture up!

why blow up a jammed gun? can't they repair it - or is it as expensive as buying a whole new 1?

It's what they usually try to do. But if the gun can't be safed, it can't be worked on. Most likely, this gun was damaged during whatever caused the jam to the point where it cannot be disassembled.

And generally, the stuff that would need to be replaced are expensive enough, you'd probably want to just buy a new gun, rather than risk eardrums or worse.
