Emergency responders rushed to the scene, where debris was scattered across the roadway and several vehicles were damaged or destroyed on impact, news agency Reuters reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Local officials confirmed that both civilians on the ground and individuals onboard the aircraft were among the casualties. The injured were transported to nearby hospitals, with some reported to be in critical condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the cause of the crash remains uncertain, reports indicate that it occurred amid inclement weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media footage circulating online showed chaotic scenes at the crash site, with crowds gathering around the wreckage and some individuals appearing to pick up currency scattered on the ground. Local authorities were also seen using water hoses to disperse the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the crash, El Alto International Airport was temporarily closed. Bolivia\u2019s national airline, Boliviana de Aviacion, said in a statement that the aircraft involved in the accident did not belong to its fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El Alto, located at an altitude of over 4,000 metres near the administrative capital La Paz, is one of Bolivia\u2019s most populous urban centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>-AFP<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bolivian, Feb 28 : &nbsp;At least 15 people were killed and 30 injured on Friday evening when a
