Analysis
Reportedly, the eng began losing power after takeoff at aprx 300 ft AGL, after the plt retracted the landing gear & flaps. The eng then stopped & the plt was forced to land. While descending, the acft struck power lines. During touchdown, it collided with 2 vehicles, then struck a building & came to rest. An operational check of the eng was made, but no dicrepancy was found that would have resulted in a loss of power.
