A C-130 military cargo plane just crashed a few nautical miles off the coast of Davao City. As of presstime, two bodies have already been recovered. Reports say both the pilot and the co-pilot perished in the crash. The plane was allegedly going to Iloilo when it was struck by lightning.
It’s weird is’nt? This is the first time that I heard a big jumbo airplane such as this one would actually be struck by lightning. Were there any other instance in the past where a cargo plane was hit by lightning? Not that I know of. Eye witnesses, fishermen who were at the Davao Gulf swear by this.
I, however, have this uncanny feeling that what they saw as “lightning” was actually a missile fired at the airplane. A thorough probe should be done by the Air Force to see what caused the crash. Suspicions that a surface-to-air missile might have struck the plane, causing it to crash.
