[0:04] On World News Tonight this Saturday, a
[0:06] National Guard plane like this one
[0:08] crashes in rural Georgia, killing all 21
[0:11] people on board. Was bad weather to
[0:14] blame? Two storm systems, one drenching
[0:17] the south, the other freezing the north.
[0:20] If they collide, the east coast could
[0:21] see one of the worst snowstorms in
[0:23] decades.
[0:26] Britain scrambles to stop the spread of
[0:28] foot and mouth disease as fear and
[0:30] precautions spread to other parts of the
[0:32] world. And after 30 years of searching,
[0:34] it's been a long time. An American
[0:37] veteran finds the son and daughter he
[0:39] left behind in Vietnam.
[0:45] From
[0:46] ABC, this is World News Tonight,
[0:50] Saturday. Good evening, I'm Elizabeth
[0:52] Vargas. Details are still emerging
[0:54] tonight in a deadly plane crash of a
[0:56] military military transport plane that
[0:59] killed 21 people, everyone on board. The
[1:03] plane went down in a field in central
[1:04] Georgia. We begin tonight with ABC's
[1:07] Steve Osans. The three Army personnel
[1:10] and the 18 members of the Air National
[1:12] Guard were flying in rain on a transport
[1:14] mission. The National Guard troops had
[1:16] just completed their annual two weeks of
[1:18] duty in Florida and were headed home.
[1:21] The C-23 Sherpa, a twin engine turbo
[1:23] prop, left Herbert Field near Pensacola
[1:26] this morning on its way to the Oceanana
[1:28] Naval Air Station in Virginia, but it
[1:30] crashed mid-flight in a field 30 mi
[1:33] south of Mon, Georgia. Eyewitnesses say
[1:36] the plane appeared to glide to the
[1:37] ground and then burst into flames.
[1:40] Witnesses apparently said that they just
[1:42] saw the plane
