    It was a KC-130 of VMGR-452 from Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, N.Y. on a flight out of Cherry Point N.C. to headed to Naval Air Facility El Centro in California. It was transporting personnel and equipment, the Reserve said in a statement. and was transferring both personnel and equipment.

    Not to defend the Sun per se but most of that article content is the same as what has appeared in multiple media outlets. Later briefings to the media have said there were multiple debris locations, which has to mean some disintegration in the air.
