De Havilland DHC-3 Otter · 4 fatalities
The failure of the right wing was caused by excessive negative lift forces upon the aircraft, resulting in complete severance. This force was imposed by penetration of the wing vortex turbulence area caused by a Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck. These negative G forces were in excess of the design criteria for the aircraft.
