ASDF Training Plane Crashes into Central Japan Lake
Nagoya, May 14 (Jiji Press)--A Japanese Air Self-Defense Force training plane boarded by two ASDF members crashed into Lake Iruka in central Japan on Wednesday.
Whether the two crew members survived the crash is not immediately known.
The T-4 aircraft disappeared off the radar while flying near the city of Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture, where the lake is located, soon after leaving the ASDF's Komaki base in the neighboring Aichi city of Komaki shortly after 3 p.m.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi, the top Japanese government spokesman, said that the plane crashed soon after taking off.
