A plane crash in Mississippi claimed the lives of 16 soldiers

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, along with state authorities are investigating the cause of the crash of the Navy, resulting in the death of 16 people.

The accident occurred at 4 PM when the plane after a sharp turn in the sky crashed in a field in 85 miles North of Jackson. Its wreckage scattered in a radius of five miles.

A powerful explosion preceded the plane crash, experts say. A huge fire caused by burning jet fuel, had to extinguish with the help of drones.

In the presented photographs show that the hull of the aircraft is completely on fire. According to witnesses, the next morning the fire only intensified.

Still the authorities do not give any information about the cause of the accident.
