I Ivan SOH-CM-2025 May 29, 2016 #4 I haven't followed the links and perhaps now there are more details, but it appears that the engine failed for some reason. (Note only one bent propeller blade so it obviously was not spinning.) The pilot ditched the aeroplane with minimal damage but was not able to get out before the aeroplane sank. The aeroplane also seems to have suffered minimal damage and looks quite repairable. Any corrections? - Ivan.
