C-130 used to ferry obese woman to hospital

After deeming an ailing woman too obese for ambulances or even light planes, paramedics responsible for transporting her to the hospital fell upon a last resort: heavy-duty military airlift.
Only a C-130 Hercules cargo plane could transport the 528-pound Australian woman from her northwest mining town to Townsville, a city in the Queensland province.
The Hercules is capable of transporting more than 37,000 pounds and is typically used to move troops and heavy cargo.
