50 dead, in Philippines worst military air disaster.

[WinterFangs]

Fifty people have died and dozens more have been injured after a military plane crashed in the Philippines.
The Lockheed C-130 transport aircraft was carrying 96 people, mostly troops, when it overshot a runway at Jolo airport in Sulu province on Sunday.
The soldiers were among reinforcements sent to combat Islamist militants such as the Abu Sayyaf group.
The dead are mainly military personnel, but three civilians on the ground were also killed, the defence ministry said.
Five people were initially listed as missing, but all passengers on board have now been accounted for.
A spokesperson from the Armed Forces of the Philippines told news site ABS-CBN that they were looking for the flight data recorder to find out why exactly the plane crashed.
Major Gen Edgard Arevalo said there was no sign of any attack on the plane.

The plane, which came down at 11:30 local time (03:30 GMT) a few kilometres from the town of Jolo, was carrying troops from Cagayan de Oro, on the southern island of Mindanao.
"It missed the runway, trying to regain power but it didn't make it," armed forces chief Gen Sobejana told reporters.

A statement from the regional military force, Joint Task Force Sulu, said "a number of soldiers were seen jumping out of the aircraft before it hit the ground, sparing them from the explosion caused by the crash".
No details about how they managed to get out of the plane or their condition were given.
Many of those on board had only recently completed basic military training, AFP reports.

The plane, previously in service with the US Air Force, was handed to the Philippines in January.
It was the first of two used Hercules to be delivered by the US under a defence co-operation scheme.
The aircraft first flew in 1988, according to Aviation Safety Network.

You can tell from the sound of the engines that it's a major malfunction.

The idiotic Filipino who love to be Murican SLAVES so much ... was buying a 2nd hand used aircraft C-130 from the Murican by paying the triple the brand new price of C-130.

I wish that Filipino Foreign Minister was on board this used 2nd hand C-130.

This is the SLAVE Filipino FM below ...

In their American regime controlled echochambers American shills are already left and right blaming pilot error on seasoned pilots with hundreds of flight hours in these very same machines before the investigation started and footage was released, because dare someone even consider the posibility that Made In America planes sold to the Phillipines could have defects or deficits not befitting their horrendous prices after the third crash for the same machine.

But I guess negative ratings on posts merely stating objective facts is all the paid American shills are going to leavex on a board where people know some **** about the subject and can't be easily fooled by completely baseless accussations and false narrativse trying to cut the story short.

Do you have any evidence to prove faulty manufacturing was the cause of the crash? More than 2,600 C-130s have been made and this aircraft has the lowest attrition rate of any military aircraft in service with 60 nations. The aircraft that crashed was in operation for 33 years.

But don't let the facts stand in the way of your trolling over the deaths of men and women in service of their nation.

RIP to the victims. It is a bad PR for American made planes.

RIP to the victims. It is a bad PR for American made planes.

May be its a maintenance or human error issue, C 130 is one of the most safest aircraft on the world

"Made in America"?........... ... ..

Get the facts straight. Lockheed is a Chinese company and Lockheed planes are made in China. People who say that Lockheed planes are made in the USA are Russian trolls and need to be given negative rating and be silenced. Freedom of speech does not mean that you can say that Lockheed planes are made in the USA.

Are these C-130 Made in America or not? Thought so.

Was there any proof the cause wasn't defects or deficiencies with the delivered American machines at the point I made that post? Thought so.

Was there any proof the cause wasn't defects or deficiencies with the delivered American machines at the point you made your projecting troll post? Thought so.

Do you have any valid reason to insult people who consider the undisputable fact that 3 of the same type of aircraft that crashed in the Phillipines were Made in America, presuming you don't consider your emotional distress from your daily trolling routine getting disturbed by people just pointing out facts about these Made in America aircraft and lies by American trolls insulting the deceased pilots professionalism and proven flying experience contracy to the facts all oer American social media, just to shift blame on the deceased without any shred of evidence, as a valid reason to insult people? Thought so.

Or maybe equipment of other nations wasn’t worthy enough in the first place to buy. I can buy a Toyota and maintain it poorly and it will fail and buy a Chery automobile car and maintain it poorly and blame it by saying cheap Chinese manufacturing.

So you think an aircraft that was in operation for 33 years before it was handed over to the Philippines was made defective 33 years ago?An aircraft type that logged more than 60 million hours of flight since it first left the production line?

Wake me up when China is able to make an aircraft that hundreds of countries buy and operate for many decades with the lowest attrition rate for a military aircraft after logging more than 60 million hours. It's not going to happen in your lifetime.
