The airplane landed on its belly and slid for about 2,000 feet then veered to the right and came to rest. All 78 occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. It is believed that all four engines lost power during initial climb for unknown reasons. The exact cause of the accident remains undetermined. The Authorities of Singapore reported that the flight engineer committed suicide a day later, jumping out the window from his hotel.

Circumstances:
The crew departed Dhaka Airport for a local training flight. While cruising at an altitude of 8,000 feet, the crew initiated a stall test program when both engines flamed out. Several attempts to restart the engines failed so the instructor regained control and attempted an emergency landing in Sabhar, about 15 km west of Dhaka Airport. On touchdown, the airplane struck an embankment, lost its undercarriage and came to rest. While all four crew members escaped with minor injuries, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Probable cause:
Engine flameout for unknown reasons.
