Narrative:
Philippine President Ramon Magsaysay boarded his Presidential C-47 plane at Cebu for a flight back to Manila. The airplane took off at night.
While the plane was climbing, the spindle drive shaft of the right engine carburetor snapped, causing a power failure. The airplane flew into the slopes of Mount Manunggal.
