Circumstances:
On a downwind approach to Bratislava-Ivanka-Milan Rastislav Štefánik Airport, the pilot realized he was too long and decided to initiate a go around procedure. The engines failed to provide sufficient power, causing the aircraft to stall and to collide with power cables and to crash. All eight occupants were injured.
