Ramon Guttierez of the Philippine Civil Aviation Authority stated that the plane is a six-to-eight-seat Beechcraft Queen Air plane. The pilot and the co-pilot were pronounced dead after their bodies were recovered from the damage plane.
The man in-charge of the plane made a distress call shortly after taking off. The plane is set to travel to Mindoro. The plane planned to return to the airport but the effort was not enough and it crash landed at an elementary school which is near to the over-populated shanties.
Police Senior Insp. Dennis Sirilan stated that the plane was twirling in mid-air before it crashes into the shanties. Firefighters rushed to the fire scene but because of the difficulty of reaching the area the fire had already scattered to nearby houses.
