Looks like a twin engine turboprop. Can’t think of what could have gone wrong, something to kill both engines is pretty rare from what I’ve heard. Mostly doctor’s aboard. Damn shame. R.I.P. doctors and crew.

The wings look a bit undersized for the fuselage. Not exactly a glider. Probably very reliant on forward thrust.
