WITNESSES REPORTED A NORMAL TAKEOFF AND CLIMB WAS MADE TO AN ALT OF APRX 400 FT AGL AT WHICH TIME ENG PWR CEASED/ DECREASED. THE RT WING THEN DROPPED, THE NOSE AND LT WING ROSE AND THE ACFT ENTERED A NEAR VERTICAL DESCENT TO GROUND IMPACT. POST ACCIDENT EXAM OF THE ENGS AND TURBOCHARGERS FAILED TO DISCLOSE ANY PRE-IMPACT FAILURES.
