content: WC-130 Hercules weather bird goes down near Savannah, Georgia. Possibly 9 dead. Very Sad! Watch this video if you can stand to:  https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/991727656860299264  It looks like the airplane might have stalled, but it's hard to say.  Looking at pictures of the crash site it seems they almost got it pulled out of the dive before it hit.  Very sad.  Our guys need new aircraft!

The design is 60 years old though. Edit:  This article says it's a WC-130H belonging to the Puerto Rico Air National Guard:  http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/20590/puerto-rico-national-guard-wc-130h-hurricane-hunter-crashes-in-a-ball-of-fire-in-georgia .  That's a helluva way to lose an airplane that regularly flies into danger trying to keep us all safe when hurricanes threaten our shores. Edit 2: I have some info that the airplane was on a trip to become scrap. Very unfortunate way for all involved to meet their end.
