Fifteen people were killed when a Hercules military transport aircraft carrying newly printed banknotes crashed while attempting to land near La Paz, Bolivia. The aircraft went down at El Alto International Airport after skidding off the runway and onto a nearby road before coming to a stop in an open area.

The plane had departed from Santa Cruz in eastern Bolivia, where it had collected the newly printed currency. Authorities said at least a dozen vehicles were damaged as the aircraft slid off the runway, highlighting the scale of destruction caused by the crash.
