A Lion Air plane that was taking off at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport on Sunday night burst into flame and crashed onto the runway with eight people on board.

Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) confirms that there were no survivors of the aircraft accident in NAIA.

Initial reports indicated that the aircraft, with four flight crew, a doctor, nurse, and a Canadian national who is believed to be the patient and an American companion were headed to Haneda Airport in Japan on a medical evacuation flight. Witnesses said the plane caught fire while taking off.
