An electrical fire forced a cargo plane’s pilots to attempt an emergency landing in a Philippine rice field when the aircraft burst into flames, killing three of its six crew, investigators said Thursday.

Sad to hear that 3 people died. It’s strange to see the starboard wing/engines and tail section completely intact.

It seems as if at least 1 AN-12 crashes per year – not due to the aircraft itself, but those that operate them.:con
