During the climb the pilot felt vibrations and decided to let the paratroopers launch. Flying over the city to go to the airport, the aircraft disintegrated, splitting into two parts. One part the engine and the other the fuselage. The engine ended up in the river near the city, while the fuselage slipped exactly between two buildings causing minimal damage to the buildings.
