What happened
During the takeoff phase from Gunsan Air Base, an aircraft experienced a critical mechanical failure. While the flight was performing its climb, one of the engines malfunctioned and ignited, resulting in an onboard fire. This loss of power caused the aircraft to become uncontrollable, leading it to impact the surface of the sea.
The accident resulted in two fatalities among the crew members on board. One member of the crew sustained injuries during the event, while a third occupant survived the crash.
Findings
Investigations into the incident determined that the primary factor behind the loss of control was an engine failure and subsequent fire occurring shortly after departure.
