Eight soldiers have been killed and a boy has gone missing in the crash of a small military plane in a residential area in the southern Philippine city of Cotabato, a military official says.
All eight people aboard were killed as the Nomad aircraft burst into a ball of flames on impact on Thursday, setting fire to two houses, said the regional military chief, Major-General Raymundo Ferrer.
All the victims were soldiers, including Major-General Mario Lacson, who commanded an army division, Ferrer told reporters.
A boy in one of the burnt houses remained missing after the plane crashed in the area at 11.25am local time, Ferrer said.



How many of these are left over there?

While a tragedy, I'm hoping this does not affect the re launch of the 'mad by Gippsland........
