Incident
About 35 minutes after departure, while the aircraft was cruising at an altitude of 5,500 feet, the left engine began to malfunction. The crew decided to shut down the affected engine and feather its propeller. To maintain thrust, full power was applied to the right engine. Shortly thereafter, the right engine exploded.
Ditching
Faced with the loss of both engines, the crew opted to ditch the aircraft. The ditching location was off Llaque Island, within the region of Puerto Montt. The aircraft sank after the water landing and was considered lost.
Outcome
The crew successfully evacuated the aircraft and was rescued. No other details about the occupants or injuries were provided in the source. The aircraft itself was not recovered.
