The jet, bound for Haneda, Japan, crashed at Manila International Airport in the Philippines and it is believed all eight people on board were killed

A plane carrying emergency medical supplies amid the coronavirus pandemic crashed during takeoff before exploding into a fireball.

The jet crashed at Manila International Airport in the Philippines and it is believed all eight people on board were killed.

The flight was bound for Haneda, Japan.

It had reportedly been chartered by the government and was carrying emergency supplies to the country as it battles against the spread of coronavirus.

Footage from the crash scene showed huge flames as emergency services were scrambled, reports the Daily Star.

Thick plumes of black smoke could also be seen billowing into the air from miles around the airport.

Pictures later emerged of the burnt out wreckage after firefighters got the blaze under control.

The images showed the plane sat on the tarmac of the runway completely destroyed.

The aircraft is reportedly owned by Lion Air – a charter service company in the Philippines, not the Indonesian commercial airline.

One image circulating on social media reportedly shows officials loading boxes of medical supplies onto the plane earlier.

The officials were wearing clothing labelled "DOH" – which stands for Department of Health.

It is not yet officially known if the medical supplies were related to the response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Cases of coronavirus in Japan, where the plane was destined, have spiked in the last few days as the government held off placing the country on lockdown.

Tokyo governor Yuriko Koike warned the capital was entering an "important phase in preventing an explosive rise in the number of infections".

Yuriko Koike went on to ask 14 million people living in the city to stay at home over the weekend.

Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also warned the country was getting closer to a national emergency.

He promised an unprecedented package to protect the world’s third-biggest economy from collapse.

So sad!

"I understand completely the difficulties this disruption has caused to your lives, businesses and jobs.

"But the action we have taken is absolutely necessary, for one very simple reason.

"If too many people become seriously unwell at one time, the NHS will be unable to cope."

This quote makes so much sense.

Rip to passengers

Double wahala for deady body,

And the owner of deadly body

What a loss.

People are trying to save lives, some dying in the process.



It could be that those materials scattered while the plane was taking off at V1, V- rotate.


A proper investigation should be made. The plane's CVR,FVR,and the black-box should be helpful in determining the cause of the crash.

It was caused by the lifeless one

Na wa o... and they said we should also expect massive flood and earthquakes this year 2020

That was how I counted about ten different aircrafts belonging to the airforce, hovering the airspace in Kano/Kaduna onThursday.

I simply said to myself that these people are already preparing for the worse. The worse won't happen in Jesus Name.

2020... No one saw all these happening, not even our Pastors with their gamblers prophesies every January.

Rotjijatau:
It was caused by the lifeless one

Remain safe people, anything that can't kill you will surely make you stronger!

Watch how some foolish Nigerians will spill rubbish about Corona being a punishment from their imaginary village deity

It is really heart wrecking. May God comfort the families they left behind.

What a perilous time?
