From the Wikipedia article
The Italian Air Force Lockheed C-130 crash was an air accident that occurred on 23 November 2009, in which a Lockheed KC-130J Hercules transport aircraft (the tanker version of the C-130J), registration MM62176, belonging to the 46th Air Brigade of the Italian Air Force, crashed. The crash occurred during take-off from the military airport of Pisa in the course of a training mission.
According to Italian Air Force sources, the Hercules, commanded by pilot Major Bruno Cavezzana, crashed immediately after take-off, coming down on a secondary line of the Tyrrhenian Railway on the Pisa-Collesalvetti-Cecina section.
The five servicemen on board, all of whom died, were serving with the 46th Air Brigade stationed in Pisa.
