On final approach to Copenhagen-Kastrup Airport, the twin engine aircraft went unstable, rolled left and right, stalled and crashed in a flat position in the Øresund, about 500 meters short of runway threshold. While all 15 occupants were uninjured and quickly rescued, the aircraft christened 'Torulf Viking' was damaged beyond repair.
