The names of those killed in the crash were not released pending notification of next of kin, officials said.
A spokesman for the Georgia Air National Guard said in a news conference that airmen on the plane were killed, but he would not confirm any details until investigators had more information about who was on the plane.
"Any time we lose any of our brothers and sisters in arms it's devastating," Parsons said. "It's something we never like to have happen, but we're still here to do a job and to continue on with the missions we have to do."
Submitted
Master Sgt. Roger Parsons said the plane was taking off from the Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport, which the Air National Guard "operates out of."
An interim safety board will be "securing the scene for as long as it takes to start the process of investigating this to find out what the cause was," Parsons said.
A team from the Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations was in route to Savannah as of Wednesday afternoon, according to Parsons.
Betty Darby, a spokeswoman for Memorial Health University Medical Center, said that, as of 1 p.m. the hospital's trauma center had not treated any patients from the plane crash scene. Officials from Coastal Carolina Hospital and St. Joseph's/Candler Hospital also said they had not treated any patients from the crash.
Gregory Martin, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration, said the plane was bound for Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona.
Chatham County EMS confirmed that the plane crashed at the intersection of Highway 21 and Crossgate Road. Roads throughout the area were closed, and traffic was being diverted.
Highway 21 will remain closed indefinitely, and power has been cut to the area, officials said.
"This could take weeks. We have to warn people," said Gena Bilbo, spokesperson for the Effingham County Sheriff's Office, said in a news conference.
No cars were hit in the crash, Bilbo said.
"It is an absolute miracle at that time of day and that intersection," she said.
By 3 p.m., traffic on northbound Interstate 95 was moving slowly but with fewer backups than earlier in the afternoon. Drivers should expect delays north of I-16 and past Port Wentworth.

In the aftermath of the crash, the Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport said flight delays were minimal. Airport officials urged passengers to check with their airline prior to their flight. They also advised travelers to avoid Highway 21.
Around 3 p.m., officials said airport operations were back to normal.
Witness reports
Chelsea Sinclair, who works at a nearby Parker's, said the store shook when the plane crashed.
"It went nose-first down," she said.
"We were seeing a bunch of black smoke, but now it's just EMS and fire trucks and police," she said.
Seth Myers, of Port Wentworth, said he’d just finished a delivery for Deli Mart about three to five minutes before the crash.
As he drove on South Coastal Highway to his next stop, he smelled "burning rubber and fuel."
"And when I looked in my rear-view mirror," he said, "I saw a ball of flame and then a big mushroom cloud."
Mariah Majors, an employee at the Carey Hilliard's on Highway 21, said she could see smoke in the air but could not see the plane.
"There was a loud boom, and our lights flickered on and off," Majors said. "I turned around about two to three minutes later and saw tons of smoke."
Alma Kiser was at home on Falkirk Street in Port Wentworth when she saw the plane “just nosediving.”
“We just saw it was getting close to the trees,” she said, adding she thought, at the time, it was just trying to land; but then she heard a “boom” and saw the smoke.
Bartender and manager Anastasia Ockerman was behind the bar at the Hercules Bar and Grill around lunchtime when she saw a string of emergency response vehicles flash past.
“I didn’t hear anything,” she said, when asked if she’d witnessed the crash, which happened just a couple of miles from the Dean Forest Road bar. “I just saw all the police cars and emergency vehicles and fire trucks. ... Then, I looked out the window and saw black smoke.”
Joseph Sheppard, who was at his job at La Bastille nearby on Bourne Avenue, said he didn’t see the crash, only the “heavy, heavy smoke” in the aftermath.
As the smoke dissipated, he said, helicopters buzzed around the crash scene, and fire trucks continued to rush toward the scene.
As of 3:45 p.m., the wreckage still sat smoldering in the roadway.
Some local businesses were still without their telephone and internet services throughout the afternoon. A note on the City Line Gas Food Mart card reader said, “Credit/Debit down due to Plane Crash.”
Savannah Fire also responded to a fire at 500 Staley Ave. around midday on Wednesday. The fire was not related to the plane crash, according to a tweet from Savannah Fire Department.
This is not the first crash involving U.S. military aircraft in recent weeks.
In early April, three military aircraft went down across the country within four days.
On April 3, four Marines were killed in a helicopter near El Centro, California, after leaving the Twentynine Palms training base to practice landing on "unimproved landing zones," according to a U.S. Naval Institute news release.
On April 4, a U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds pilot was killed when his F-16 jet crashed at Nevada's Nellis Air Force Base during "a routine aerial demonstration training flight," said a news release from the air force base.
Then, on April 6, two US Army soldiers were killed in an Apache helicopter crash during routine training at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, according to the U.S. Army's101st Airborne Division.

9 feared dead after Puerto Rico Air National Guard plane ‘dropped out of the sky’
Updated 12 hours ago
By
At least five of the people were Puerto Rico residents, the AP confirmed.
A Puerto Rican official told the AP that nine people were aboard the plane and that there are no apparent survivors.
The crash happened around 11:30 a.m. at the intersection of Ga. 21 and Crossgate Road.
Senior Master Sgt. Roger Parsons, with the National Air Guard’s 165th Airlift Wing, said via a Facebook Live interview that the plane had taken off from the Savannah airport.
A Puerto Rico National Guard official told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution the plane was bound for Davis–Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona.
“It’s a difficult moment for the Puerto Rican National Guard and, in particular, the families of those involved,” Puerto Rico National Guard spokesman Maj. Paul Dahlen said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family members of those involved. And we are going to do our best to make sure that we get to the bottom of this as soon as possible.”

The National Guard tweeted that the plane is a WC-130 Hercules and was on a training mission. The plane, which Channel 2 Action News reported is 60 years old, is from the Air National Guard’s 156th Airlift Wing stationed in Puerto Rico.
Video showed the plane nosediving into the ground, followed by a heavy plume of smoke. Authorities said late Wednesday that the debris field is very large.
Witness Mark Jones Jr., who was driving on Ga. 21 when he saw the crash, grabbed his cellphone and shot video of the aftermath.
“(It) literally just dropped out of the sky and blew up on the street,” Jones told Channel 2.
The WC-130 Hercules is a high-wing, medium-range aircraft flown by the Air Force Reserve Command mainly for weather reconnaissance missions, according to the U.S. Air Force website.
This is the second time in less than a year that version of the plane has been involved in a fatal crash. Fifteen Marines and a sailor died when an air tanker version of the plane plunged into farmland in rural Mississippi nearly 10 months ago, the New York Times reported.
The Savannah airport tweeted around 3:15 p.m. that normal flight operations had resumed.
Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rosselló Nevares released a statement a little before 3 p.m.
“While we are waiting for more information regarding this unfortunate accident, my thought and those of (wife) Beatriz are with the families of the crew,” the governor said. “They will receive our support and that of the National Guard of Puerto Rico in this process.”
Another witness, Lauren Sapp, told Channel 2 that she was at her construction company office when she heard the plane fall out of the sky.
“It was quite scary,” Sapp told the news station. “We were sitting here in our office and there was a loud bang and explosion. Everybody jumped up in the office and went running out back.”
U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Pooler, who represents Georgia's coastal 1st District in the U.S. House, released a statement.
"It is heartbreaking to hear this tragic and horrific news in the First District today involving brave service members. ... As we learn more, we are ready to help in any way possible."
The U.S. Air Force tweeted condolences.
President Donald Trump also released a statement about the crash.

Explosion During Police Standoff in Connecticut Injures Several Officers

Several police officers were injured in a large explosion Wednesday evening during a standoff with a barricaded suspect in North Haven, Conn., officials said.
The explosion, in the 300 block of Quinnipiac Avenue, was so powerful that residents up to a mile away said their homes shook. The property where it happened burst into flames and was still burning more than four hours later, filling the neighborhood with smoke.
Yale New Haven Hospital confirmed on Twitter that it had received seven patients. The town’s first selectman, Michael J. Freda, and its third selectman, Sally J. Buemi, said the injuries were not life-threatening.
The North Haven Police Department had responded to the scene several hours earlier in response to a domestic violence call. Mr. Freda said the suspect had barricaded his wife inside the house, 385 Quinnipiac Avenue, which property records indicate is owned by John and Deborah Sayre.
A SWAT team was subsequently called in, and officers tried to “gently and compassionately coax the individual out of his home,” Mr. Freda said, but the man would not come out. Then the emergency responders went around back, where there was a barn, and “when they entered the barn,” he said, “the barn exploded.”

Ms. Buemi said she felt the blast in her own home about three-quarters of a mile away.
Another explosion followed about 20 minutes later, Mr. Freda said. He added that officials believed the blasts were from explosive devices, not an accidental cause like a gas leak.

The woman escaped, but the man’s location is unknown, Mr. Freda said, adding that it was possible he was still inside. The investigation has been turned over to the Connecticut State Police.

Ms. Celano went outside after hearing the explosion, she said, but around 15 minutes later, officers told her and other residents to go back inside for their safety.
Another neighbor, Carol Ann Phelps, lives about three-tenths of a mile away from the explosion but said it was so loud that she initially thought it might have come from her own basement. Reached by phone around 30 minutes later, she said the street was teeming with emergency vehicles.
“I couldn’t tell you how many police are right here,” she said.
