Major accident: Army plane carrying 92 people crashes in Philippines, 17 killed

A C-130 aircraft of the Philippines Air Force became the victim of a major accident. The head of the Philippines Armed Forces, Siriletto Sobejana, said a military plane crashed in the southern Philippines on Sunday. At least 92 people were present on this plane, out of which 17 people died. So far 40 people have been rescued from the burning wreckage of this plane.

According to the information, a C-130 aircraft of the Philippines Air Force (PAF), in which 85 people were on board, crashed near Patikul Sulu on Sunday morning. It is reported that the plane caught fire when the plane was trying to land on the island of Jiles in Sulu province. “It is very unfortunate,” Sobejana told reporters. The plane did not land on the runway. The pilot tried to control him again, but he could not do so and the plane crashed.

As soon as the plane fell, the officials who reached there started the work of dousing the fire. So far 45 people from the aircraft have been rescued. However, it is not yet known how it started in the plane and how this accident happened. At present, the work of evacuating the people trapped inside the plane is going on.

Let us tell you that most of the soldiers present in the plane had taken basic training. These people were to be deployed on Iceland famous for terrorist activities. The Muslim population is the majority on these islands of the Philippines. Here it is common for someone to be kidnapped for ransom. That’s why a large number of soldiers are always stationed here. A terrorist organization named Abu Sayyaf is active here.
