Guard C-130 down near Savanah. Doesn’t look good......
Another site (unverified) says it is a Puerto Rico Guard plane, was on its way to the boneyard, and had been on the Savanah ramp for several days....
They also said two dead, and three survivors. Steep roll just after liftoff.
Again, all unverified.

Puerto Rico ANG C-130 crashed near Savannah GA airport earlier today. Reports that all 5 on board were killed. Always sad. RIP

Crash was caught on video. I flew C-130's back in the 1980's and I'm still scratching my head. If a prop had a major issue, or if wing structural occurred that might explain it. News says (not exactly always accurate) the plane had just taken off.
