What happened
While performing the takeoff roll, the captain initiated an emergency braking procedure to abandon the departure. The specific reason for this decision remains undetermined at this time. During the aborted maneuver, the four-engine aircraft was unable to come to a complete stop within the available runway length.
As the aircraft overran the end of the paved surface, it sustained damage when the right main landing gear was lost. The sequence of events concluded once the aircraft reached a stationary position. There were no injuries reported among the three crew members on board.
Findings
- The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
- The primary factor in the excursion was the inability to stop the aircraft within the remaining runway distance following the decision to abort the takeoff.
