What happened
The incident involved a seaplane that executed an emergency ditching in the waters near Puerto Castilla. The decision to abandon the aircraft in the water was necessitated by an unknown factor that forced the captain to take this action. Upon making contact with the surface, the airframe sustained catastrophic structural failure, splitting into two sections and subsequently sinking beneath the waves.
Findings
The aftermath of the crash resulted in significant loss of life. While one member of the crew was successfully extracted from the water and rescued, all other individuals on board perished in the accident. The specific technical or operational cause for the initial emergency situation remains unrecorded in the available data.
