## 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.
