A tragic incident occurred Thursday when a US military-contracted plane met a catastrophic end in a remote rice field in the southern Philippines, claiming the lives of all four crew members on board.
The aircraft, identified as a Beech King Air 300 with registration number N349CA, was confirmed by U.S. Embassy spokesperson Kanishka Gangopadhyay as being under contract with the U.S. military.
Tim Ambolodto, head of the Maguindanao Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, reported that the bodies recovered appeared to be foreigners.
