A TABA Fairchild-Hiller FH-227B on a cargo flight from Belem to Altamira went out of control and crashed in jungle, with all three crew killed. The aircraft was destroyed on impact and some parts were not found at the crash site, which raised the possibility of an in-flight breakup. The sources conflict on the phase of flight.
