Narrative:
A Junkers Ju-52/3m transport plane, named "Rio Negro", collided in mid-air with an Argentine Air Force DH.104 Dove, serial T-62. The Dove lost a wing and spiralled to the ground, killing all seven (three crew and four passengers) on board. The Junkers caught fire and the pilot attempted an emergency landing. Just before the touch-down, control was lost and the aircraft crashed, killing all 13 on board.
