KC-130 "mishap” KILLS 19 US Marines !!!!


16  MARINES  KILLED  IN  TRAGIC  PLANE  CRASH

Our thoughts and prayers extend to the families of the 16 brave Marines who lost their lives Thursday.

A U.S. military plane used for refueling crashed into a soybean field in rural Mississippi, killing at least 16 people aboard in a fiery wreck and spreading debris for miles, officials said.

Leflore County Emergency Management Agency Director Frank Randle told reporters at a briefing late Monday that 16 bodies had been recovered after the KC-130 spiraled into the ground about 85 miles north of Jackson in the Mississippi Delta. A witness said some bodies were found more than a mile from the crash site. 

Marine Corps spokeswoman Capt. Sarah Burns said in a statement that a KC-130 “experienced a mishap” Monday evening but provided no details. The KC-130 is used as a refueling tanker. 

Though the KC-130 refueling tanker took off from Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in North Carolina, Marine Capt. John Roberts said the plane was under the command of the 4th Marine Air Wing, which is part of the Marine Forces Reserve headquartered in New Orleans.

In a Tuesday morning tweet, President Donald Trump offered condolences.

Andy Jones said he was working on his family’s catfish farm just before 4 p.m. when he heard a boom and looked up to see the plane corkscrewing downward with one engine smoking. “You looked up and you saw the plane twirling around,” he said. “It was spinning down.”

Jones said the plane hit the ground behind trees in the soybean field, and by the time he and other reached the crash site, fires were burning too intensely to approach the wreckage. The force of the crash nearly flattened the plane, Jones said. “Beans are about waist-high, and there wasn’t much sticking out above the beans,” he said.

Jones said a man borrowed his cellphone to report to authorities that there were bodies across U.S. Highway 82, more than a mile from the crash site.

Greenwood Fire Chief Marcus Banks told the Greenwood Commonwealth that debris from the plane was scattered in a radius of about 5 miles.

Jones said firefighters tried to put out the fire at the main crash site but withdrew after an explosion forced them back. The fire produced towering plumes of black smoke visible for miles across the flat region and continued to burn after dusk, more than four hours after the crash.

BNO News reported on aerial footage of the crash late Thursday, when just 9 people were suspected to be dead.

Vice President Pence retweeted Secretary Ryan Zinke
Karen & I are praying for the families of the Marines who lost their lives. These Marines will be in our heart.

Possible reason for crash... Islamic Terrorists Strike Heart Of America, Blow US Marine KC-130 Aircraft Out Of Sky -- http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index2333.htm

The last thing this is, is islamic terrorism. More then likely a false flag blamed on terrorism. I wouldn't be surprised if the high level of ammo on board was packed near a hot pipe and set off cargo. Or the plane just had a engine malfunction. If isil comes out today and claim,s responsabilty you have your answer.
