Narrative:
The four-engined airliner named "Kwikstaart" took off from Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport at 09:37 on an international flight to Malmö, Sweden with planned en route stops at Hamburg and Copenhagen. Engines no. 1 and 2 began losing power, forcing the pilot to return to the airport.
The airplane struck the slope of the A4 motorway and crashed. A fire erupted.

Probable Cause:

Conclusions:
1) Insufficient fuel supply to the engines during takeoff might have made it necessary to manually pump additional fuel. In very unfavourable circumtances there still may be insufficient fuel pressure.
2) The decision of the pilot to return to the airport instead of carrying out a forced landing.

Classification:
Fuel starvation
Loss of control
