The aircraft was damaged beyond repair while all 12 skydivers and the pilot escaped uninjured.
Probable cause:
Loss of control at lift off because the CofG was after the rear limit due to a poor flight preparation and a wrong seating of the skydivers and their equipment in the main cabin.

Circumstances:
The pilot started the approach to Bad Vöslau Airport at dusk and under VFR mode. Due to marginal weather conditions, he was unable to locate the airport then decided to divert to Vienna-Schwechat Airport. He completed a left turn, passed over Baden and continued at an altitude of 2,000 feet when the twin engine aircraft struck a hill and crashed in Gaaden. Both occupants were killed.
Probable cause:
The visibility was too low at the time of the accident to attempt a VFR landing at Bad Vöslau Airport that was not equipped with an ILS. According to weather conditions, the pilot should fly directly to Vienna-Schwechat Airport.
