An aircraft experienced a loss of control while touching down, resulting in structural damage but no injuries.

What happened

During the landing phase of the flight, the aircraft began to swerve unexpectedly upon making contact with the runway. This movement led to a total loss of directional control. As the plane moved out of its intended path, it sustained significant mechanical damage, specifically involving the separation of both engines and the collapse of the undercarriage.

Despite the severity of the excursion and the resulting damage to the airframe, there were no fatalities or injuries reported among those on board. The aircraft came to a final stop after the sequence of events concluded.

Probable cause

The aircraft veered off course during touchdown, leading to structural failure and engine separation.
