Nation IN BRIEF : NORTH CAROLINA : Crash Kills All 9 on Military Plane

A C-130 military transport on a training mission crashed into Blewett Falls Lake, near Lilesville in south-central North Carolina, and all nine people aboard were killed, authorities said. Anson County Sheriff Tommy Allen quoted witnesses as saying the plane, of a type used to move troops and equipment, circled the lake for about 15 minutes before it rolled over and went into the water sideways.
