An eye-witness told television station SIC Noticias that the aircraft was flying at a low altitude over the beach before attempting the emergency landing. Most of the sunbathers didn’t realize something was wrong until everybody started running. Caparica beach is located about 30 km south-west of the Portuguese capital Lisbon.
The cause of the emergency landing remains unclear.
