The Skyvan took off from Ogle Airport's runway 24 at 10:59 for a charter flight to Ekereku. One minute after takeoff, the pilot declared an emergency and reported that he was forced to crash-land into the cane-fields bordering E-Block Sophia and Lamaha Springs. The plane hit a ridge and then skidded approximately 100 feet from the point of impact, before coming to rest on an uncultivated piece of land. Preliminary investigation revealed that the no. 2 engine had failed.
