1957 Cebu Douglas C-47 crash
The 1957 crash of a Douglas C-47 plane named "Mt. Pinatubo" on the slopes of Mount Manunggal,〔Also known as Mount Manung-gal.〕 Cebu, Philippines, killed the 7th President of the Philippines, Ramon Magsaysay, and 24 other passengers. The crash is estimated to have occurred at 1:40:00 AM, March 17, 1957, Philippine Standard Time (17:40:00 PM, March 16, 1957, GMT). Several high-ranking Philippine government and military officials, as well as journalists, were also among the dead. A reporter for the ''Philippine Herald'', Nestor Mata, was the sole survivor of the accident.
At the time of his death, President Magsaysay, a Nacionalista, was widely popular and was expected to easily win re-election in the November presidential elections.〔
==Aircraft and crew==
The aircraft involved in the crash was a newly reconditioned twin engine C-47A-75-DL Skytrain, ''42-100925'', c/n 19388,〔http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19570317-0〕 which was operated by the Philippine Air Force and served as the official presidential plane of Magsaysay. The plane had been newly purchased with less than 100 hours of logged flight.〔 It had a crew of five, all officers of the Philippine Air Force led by the pilot, Major Florencio Pobre.
The plane was named ''Mt. Pinatubo'' after a long inactive volcano then best known as the tallest mountain in Magsaysay's home province of Zambales. In 1991, Mount Pinatubo, which had been dormant since the 14th century, erupted in what was the second largest terrestrial eruption of the 20th century, leaving over 800 people dead.
