C207 into the swamp at YBTL

A C207 went into the swamp adjacent to YBTL this afternoon. Apparently a loss of power on approach. The pilot and 3 pax escaped injury. Luckily it didn't tip over or the story might have been different - not much of the airplane visible.

That's 2 in 2 days - hope they don't come in 3's.
