DAVAO (Updated, 1 p.m.) -- A military transport plane that crashed after takeoff in the southern Philippines with nine people aboard sank up to 1,000 feet (300 meters) under water, too deep for divers to reach, air force officials said Wednesday.
Navy Capt. Rosauro Gonzales said the wreckage of the C-130 was located about 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 kilometers) southwest of Samal island, a short distance from Davao International Airport, from where the plane took off Monday evening.
