At least 8 reportedly killed in military plane crash
A Marine Corps spokesperson said that the aircraft "experienced a mishap," but provided no details as of Monday evening, according to WZTV. Nine people were believed to be on board the aircraft.
Firefighters were battling flames ignited by jet fuel. Helicopters were also said to be searching the crash site, where debris was scattered for miles.
"We were driven away by several high-intensity explosions," said Greenwood Fire Chief Marcus Banks.
The KC-130's primary duty is to provide aerial refueling for other aircraft and helicopters, and can hold up to 61,364 pounds of fuel.
