Dual-Engine Failure During Initial Climb from Thunder Bay (C-GFFD)

Incident Overview and Outcome During the initial climb after departing Thunder Bay, the aircraft experienced a dual-engine failure. The right engine failed while the left engine lost power, causing the aircraft to descend. The aircraft subsequently struck obstacles and crashed in a prairie. Both pilots were injured, and the aircraft was destroyed. The official investigation determined that the probable cause was the failure of both engines during the initial climb because the fuel was contaminated by water. No specific aircraft type, registration, date, operator, or location beyond Thunder Bay and a prairie is provided in the source.
