On 7 June 1949 a Strato-Freight Curtiss Wright C-46D, registered in the United States as ''NC92857'', crashed into the Atlantic Ocean 10 km (6.4 mi) west of the San Juan-Isla Grande Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico, US while en route to Miami, Florida, US.〔 Of the 81 passengers and crew on board, 53 were killed. ==Crash== On 4 June 1949 (three days prior to the accident), the Strato Freight C-46 arrived in San Juan from Newark, New Jersey, US. While on the ground, the aircraft received maintenance: a new flap follow-up cable was installed and both engines were checked. Due to misfiring of the right engine, 13 new sparkplugs were installed.〔 On 7 June 1950 the aircraft began to taxi to the runway at 00:10 and was airborne at 00:21. Approximately one minute following takeoff, the right engine began losing power. The aircraft declared an emergency and crashed in the Atlantic Ocean, roughly 200 m (656 ft) off the coastline.〔 The aircraft remained afloat for six minutes during which time 28 of the 81 passengers and crew were able to evacuate.
