A C-130 Hercules military transport plane carrying five people crashed and burst into flames Wednesday just after taking off from a Georgia airport, officials said.

 

The National Guard cargo plane bound for Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona went down near Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, Air Force officials confirmed to Fox News. The wreckage was seen at the intersection of Highway 21 and Crossgate Road, officials said.

“There has been a plane crash at the intersection of Hwy 21 at Crossgate Rd. Roads will be shut down. Please avoid the area,” Chatham EMA tweeted.

Photos from the ground showed a section of the plane engulfed by fire and thick black smoke billowing to the sky. – Fox News
