Location and date of the accident
The accident occured on the 33rd of Jovium 5457 A.G.W., 100 kilometres off the coast at Port Andullen,over the Bay of the Three Rivers between the provinces of Andullesia and Uegria Suthra near Benedikt's Rock.

The engine soon exploded, rupturing hydraulic lines in the left wing. The upper parts of the wing later broke through the cabin floor of the commuter airship, instantly killing five people while further twelve persons fell into the ocean and died there. Andrew's plane soon also crashed into the ocean, but he survived with serious injuries.

The company responsible for the faulty repair had to pay 30.000 dollars to each family that lost a member during the crash, as well as the burials, operations on the wounded and the damage to both aircraft.
