What happened
The incident occurred immediately following departure from Borinquen. The aircraft, identified as a floatplane, experienced a mechanical issue involving its powerplant during the initial climb phase. This malfunction resulted in a loss of thrust, causing the machine to descend rapidly and impact the water surface shortly after leaving the ground.
Findings
Official investigations concluded that the primary factor leading to the accident was engine failure occurring at the moment of takeoff. Due to the nature of the crash into the sea and the lack of confirmed recovery data, the status of the personnel on board has not been established. No specific registration number or detailed aircraft model variant is provided in the available records for this event.
