Cause of the accident
The reason that the aircraft LN-BIW crashed into the sea near Tårnandskjær on July 15, 1974, at approximately 13:15, was that it was maneuvered at a low altitude in such a way that it crashed into the sea.
This fatal maneuvering is presumed to be related to the pilot being heavily influenced by alcohol.
