MANILA, July 5 (Reuters) - Philippine authorities ordered an investigation on Monday into the crash of an Air Force plane that overshot a runway and killed more than 50 people, including civilians, in the country s worst military air accident in nearly three decades.
President Rodrigo Duterte flew to a military camp in the southern city of Zamboanga, where the dead and dozens of injured were brought following the crash on Sunday of a transport plane the defence ministry said was in good condition. I commiserate with you. I am as sorrowful as you. And as commander-in-chief, I am hurting the most because of lives lost, Duterte said at a navy base after saluting the flag-draped coffins.
