Lita Velasco, who lives near the crash site, described how the plane appeared to wobble, its wings tipping up and down erratically, before it hit the ground followed by a loud explosion. "I ran to our burning house because my family was there so I gathered my relatives and ran," she said. (AP Photo)

The flight manifest showed seven people on board, including the pilot, but crash investigators could not immediately confirm the number of people on the plane, Atutubo said. Hours after firefighters put out the fire caused by the crash, only four bodies had been found, he added. (AP Photo)
