Very sad, but surprised that this is the first C-17 loss.

Loss of life is always sad. But yea, the C17 has an impressive safety record inspite of this. The closest the C17 came to a difficulty before, was in 2009 and it was attributed to pilot error.
After more than two days of concentrated effort, the recovery crew managed to lift the aircraft high enough to extend its wheels and prepare it for removal from the runway.
