Reason for the crash: During the takeoff roll, the engine number three failed. For unknown reason, the crew was unable to feather the propeller. After a roll of 70 seconds, at a speed of 220 km/h, the airplane overran the 2,400 meters runway and went into a sandy area and crashed in flames. Two passengers (two mechanics) were seriously injured while all seven other passengers were killed. The aircraft was destroyed by fire. (data taken from (

Unless you have access to the site, visiting the crash will be impossible. I thought it was a bit strange they never moved it, cleaned it up or anything but as you see in the photos of the crash and post crash, not much has changed other than the spraypainting over the airline logo and numbers.
