São Paulo

En route, the airplane went out of control and crashed in the Rio Jarí, killing all three crew members.

Shortly after takeoff from Parnaíba Airport, an engine failed. The aircraft crashed near the airport and was destroyed. Both occupants were injured.

The aircraft was on a scheduled flight from London to Buenos Aires with stops at Paris, Lisbon, Dakar, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Asunción, carrying 14 passengers and 10 crew. At 0105LT the Constellation called the Asunción control tower who cleared the flight to land on Runway 02 and requested the aircraft to call when on final approach. The last contact with the flight was made at 0115LT. From that time on a control tower employee reported the aircraft moved towards the south-southwest. He tried to sight it and noted that it headed towards the city, made a turn to the left and appeared to initiate its final straight-in approach. When sufficient time for a landing had elapsed the employee called attention to the lack of communication between the aircraft and the control tower. He continued to look out to the south where the aircraft would have appeared and saw a sudden burst of flame near the Paraguay Aero Club, south of the airport. Five passengers and three crew members survived. The aircraft was completely destroyed by fire which broke out immediately after impact.

Shortly after takeoff from Congonhas Airport in São Paulo, while in initial climb, the left engine suffered vibrations. The crew shot down the engine and feathered the propeller before making a turn to fly back to the airport. Shortly later, the right engine suffered technical issues as well and when the pilot lowered the gear, the aircraft lost height, hit obstacles and crashed near a soccer field. Both pilots and two passengers were killed while 18 other occupants were injured, some of them seriously. Few hours later, one of the survivors died from his injuries.

During the takeoff roll, the left engine failed. Due to an asymmetric thrust, the aircraft went out of control, veered off runway and collided with a house with a bar. All 31 occupants were evacuated, some of them suffered minor injuries. Unfortunately, three people in the bar were killed. The aircraft was considered as damaged beyond repair and was later dismantled.

The crew departed São Paulo-Congonhas Airport at 0700LT on a cargo flight to the north of the country. En route, engine problems forced the captain to return to Congonhas. On approach, the pilot decided to attempt an emergency landing in Itaquaquecetuba, about 35 km east of Congonhas Airport. The aircraft came to rest in a field and was damaged beyond repair. All three crew members were slightly injured.

Crashed on landing, No casualties.

While conducting a training flight a low height, the twin engine aircraft hit power cables and crashed in Santo Amaro, in the suburb of Sao Paulo. Both pilots were killed.

On final approach to Congonhas Airport, the crew was disturbed by the poor visibility caused by night and foggy conditions. The twin engine aircraft crashed in a huge explosion few hundred meters short of runway and was destroyed by impact forces and post crash fire. All 18 occupants were killed.

Less than one minute after take off from Rio de Janeiro-Santos Dumont Airport, while in initial climb, the three-engine aircraft hit the roof of the Naval Academy. On impact, the aircraft broke in two, one part left in the building and the second one came to rest in the Guanabara Bay. Three passengers were injured while all 18 other occupants were killed. At the time of the accident, the visibility was poor due to foggy conditions over Rio.
