April 26, 2006 -- Two Ukrainian crewmembers were among five people who died on April 24 when a U.S. government-leased transport plane carrying antinarcotics officials crashed in Afghanistan's Helmand Povince.
The other three victims died on the ground when the Russian-made plane overran the airstrip and hit a nomad settlement.
