The Embraer 110 departed Manchester on a cargo flight to Bangor. Shortly after takeoff the airplane crashed into a Wal-Mart garden center and burst into flames. Wal-Mart is located 1,4 km North of the end of runway 17/35.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "The pilots misapplication of flight controls following an engine failure. Contributing to the accident was the failure of the sun gear, which resulted in the loss of engine power.
