What happened
During the initial climb phase of flight, the engine number four on the aircraft type/model experienced a catastrophic failure. This malfunction occurred while the aircraft was still accelerating along the runway.
In an attempt to manage the emergency, the pilot initiated an aborted takeoff procedure by applying heavy braking. However, as the aircraft approached the end of the runway, a tire on the left main landing gear suffered a burst. This loss of control caused the plane to veer off the paved surface and into a ditch.
The resulting impact and subsequent friction led to a massive fire that engulfed the wreckage. The accident resulted in 5 fatalities (comprising two crew members and three passengers) and 57 injuries, while 11 passengers managed to escape without harm.
Findings
Investigations into the incident focused on the mechanical failure of the power plant during the critical takeoff roll.
