A Tecnam P92S Echo crashed into Harder Bucht, Lake Bodensee, near Bregenz, after the mentally ill passenger had intentionally brought the plane into a dive. Trying to pull up, the pilot could not regain control over the aircraft against the passenger who was pushing down. Due to overspeed, the plane started to disintegrate and presumably became uncontrollable before impact. Both occupants were killed.
