Australia officials say there's 'no indication' of what caused plane crash

Australian fire and government officials have confirmed three people were killed after a C-130 Hercules air tanker crashed while fighting bushfires in the country’s alpine region.

The waterbomber went down in the Snowy Monaro region, located in the southern portion of the state of New South Wales. The crash happened as soaring temperatures and strong winds fanned blazes across the country’s east.

“It demonstrates the dangerous work being undertaken, and it also demonstrates the conditions our firefighters are working under,” New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian said at a news conference Thursday.
