An Embraer C-95B Bandeirante crashed into the sea just 150 m short of runway 14/32 at Rio de Janeiro-Galeão, Brazil. All three crew members were rescued.
The airplane had dropped eleven skydivers as part of a demonstration during an air show. A loss of engine power reportedly forced the pilot to ditch the plane just short of the runway.
