What happened
A cargo transport mission originating in Halifax was interrupted when a four-engine aircraft crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. The flight was en route to Santa Maria in the Azores Islands at the time of the incident. Following the disappearance, search and rescue operations were launched to locate the wreckage and any survivors. However, after several days of searching the ocean surface, the mission was terminated because no debris or traces of the aircraft could be located.
All three crew members on board were presumed lost in the accident. Despite the intensive efforts by recovery teams, the disappearance remains unsolved due to the lack of physical evidence from the crash site.
