What happened
During the early stages of flight following departure from Saigon-Tân Son Nhât Airport, the aircraft entered an uncontrollable state. While performing the initial climb, the plane lost stability and impacted the ground, triggering a massive explosion upon impact.
The accident resulted in 12 fatalities among the crew members on board. One pilot survived the crash but sustained serious injuries during the event.
Findings
No specific technical cause for the loss of control was detailed in the initial report, though the aircraft's descent led to a high-impact explosion immediately following the loss of flight stability.
