According to the main station reporter, on the local time of the 27th, a Bolivian C-130 "Hercules" military transport plane carrying cash veered off the runway and crashed onto a city road during landing at El Alto International Airport, destroying and damaging multiple cars and trucks. The police have confirmed at least 20 people dead. The Bolivian Ministry of Defense stated that the cash carried by the crashed plane had no serial numbers and therefore has no value. The cause of the accident is not clear yet, but preliminary estimates suggest that it may be due to bad weather. Currently, El Alto hospitals have initiated blood donation activities to help save the injured.
