C130 Aircraft Hercules Crashed at Sea

Philippine Air Force C130 Aircraft Hercules crashed at sea last night after it took off from Davao City. A massive search and rescue operation was made after a few minutes of zero contact with the airport authorities. Debris of the 37 year old aircraft had been recovered inside the 20 mile radius where the aircraft was believed to have crashed.
According to Chief Lt. Pedrito Cadungog, the aircraft was piloted by Captain Adrian de Dios and Major Manuel Sambrano, and had seven crew on board, Sergeants Constantino Lobregat, John Arriola, Sergeant Aldrin Ilustrisimo, Patricio Claur Jr., Gerry Delioso, Felix Pedro Patriarga and Petronilo Fernandez. Radio and television reports said the aircraft crews were bound to go to Ilo-ilo City to pick up members of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's Presidential Security Group. There is still no information as of the moment if there has been any survivor from the crash.
