- Location: Paris-Roissy-CDG, Val-d'Oise, France

- Cause: Not determined. A preliminary BEA report exists; the late runway change and the loss of engine torque were the main factors discussed, and the final report was not located.
A Lufthansa CityLine Dash 8 (Contact Air) flying Bremen to Paris-CDG was given a late change to runway 28 after runway 27 closed. In fog and rain the aircraft lost height on the left turn, with both engine torques falling to zero before the autopilot disengaged. It struck a field about 1,800 m short of the runway, killing four passengers and injuring 19 others.
