The medical plane reportedly used for coronavirus response in Philippines 'caught fire and exploded,' American among 8 dead
An aircraft that's been used as an air ambulance in the Philippines as the country deals with the coronavirus outbreak caught fire while attempting to take off for Japan on Sunday, killing all on board, including an American, according to officials.
The aircraft, a Lion Air plane, was bound from Manila to Haneda Airport in Tokyo with eight people on board when it caught fire at the end of the runway at Manila International Airport.
"There were no survivors," Manila airport general manager Ed Monreal said at a news conference.
Monreal said two of the eight on board were foreigners — one American and one Canadian — and the rest were Filipinos.
Firetrucks and rescue personnel rushed and doused the aircraft with foam to try to extinguish the flames.
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines said the aircraft -- an Agusta WW24 -- apparently encountered an unspecified “problem which resulted in a fire” as it rolled to take off, adding its chief investigator was on the way to the scene.
