Circumstances:
Shortly after takeoff from Malmö-Bulltofta Airport, while in initial climb, all four engines failed simultaneously. The captain attempted an emergency landing but lost control of the aircraft that stalled and crashed in a residential area located near the airport. A passenger was killed, four others were slightly injured while all eight other occupants were unhurt. The aircraft named 'Lappland' was damaged beyond repair.
Probable cause:
The captain mistakenly opened the throttles instead of selecting the propeller pitch handles while the engines were in weak mixture, causing all four to stall out.
