An Embraer EMB-110P Bandeirante operated by TABA on a scheduled Juara service lost its left engine shortly after takeoff on 23 June 1985. The crew turned back, and on final approach the aircraft went out of control, veered off the runway, struck a fire truck and burned, killing all 17 people aboard.
