Shortly after take off pilot declared emergency due to left engine power-loss, and his intentions to return back to the airport. Then he initiated a left turn (single engined and into inoperative engine) and subsequently stalled and plunged into the Rio de la Plata, at km 4,5 of Dock-E chanel in front of "Club de Pescadores".
Investigation determined that fuel used in that flight was contaminated and degraded. That leaded to detonations causing a reduction in manifold pressure. Also found evidence of lack and defective maintenance in both engines, and that the airplane was overweighted by 439 kg. There were no meteorological influence in the occurence.
