Circumstances:
The aircraft departed Berlin-Schönefeld Airport on a local 35-minute sightseeing flight over Berlin with 25 passengers and three crew members on board.

The aircraft struck the airport boundary fence then crash landed on its belly with its right wing partially torn off. All 28 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Probable cause:
Loss of power on the right engine for unknown reasons.
