Crews were doing work on a runway at an American airfield in Iraq. This involved cutting out a large, square section of the tarmac, basically creating the mother of all potholes.
One minor problem: no one bothered to issue a NOTAM (notice to airmen).
This wasn't a problem during the day, since the pilots could see the work site and avoid it. But a C-130 came in at night, and you can guess what happened.
