What happened
During the landing phase of the flight, a significant mechanical failure occurred when one of the main landing gear components failed upon touchdown. This structural failure caused the aircraft to become uncontrollable immediately following contact with the runway. As the vessel veered out of its intended path, it eventually came to a halt in a state of uncontrolled movement, at which point a fire broke out.
The incident resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft due to the intensity of the flames. Despite the severity of the post-crash fire, all 14 crew members on board were successfully rescued from the wreckage. While there were no fatalities reported among the personnel, several individuals sustained injuries during the emergency evacuation and subsequent fire.
Findings
Investigations into the accident concluded that the primary factor leading to the loss of control was an undercarriage failure occurring at the moment of landing.
