What happened
Following the completion of the landing phase, the aircraft's four engines experienced mechanical difficulties. Due to these complications, the pilot was unable to decelerate the plane sufficiently to remain on the runway surface. The aircraft subsequently overran the end of the landing area and came to a stop within a swamp.
While the impact resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair, there were no casualties reported. All three crew members managed to exit the wreckage and escaped the incident uninjured.
Findings
- The primary factor in the excursion was the malfunction of the four engines during the landing roll.
