美国军机坠毁至少16人丧生

A U.S. military plane crashed Monday in the southern state of Mississippi, killing at least 16 people.

Officials did not give details about where the plane originated from or where it was flying when it went down in a field about 150 kilometers north of Mississippi's capital city, Jackson. The cause of the crash was also not clear.

Marine Corps spokeswoman Capt. Sarah Burns said only that a KC-130 aircraft "experienced a mishap."

Leflore County Emergency Management Agency Director Frank Randle told reporters that 16 bodies had been recovered from the site of the crash.

Marcus Banks, the fire chief from the city of Greenwood, said debris from the plane was scattered in a radius of about eight kilometers.

有关官员没有透露飞机的起飞地和飞行目的地。飞机是在密西西比州首府杰克逊以北约150公里处坠毁的，坠机原因不明。

美国海军陆战队发言人伯恩斯上尉只是说，这架KC-130军机“遭遇了不测”。

密西西比州利福勒郡紧急事务管理署负责人弗兰克·兰德尔告诉记者说，坠机地点已经找到了16具尸体。

格林伍德市消防负责人马库斯·班克斯说，飞机残骸散落在方圆大约8公里的范围内。
