Aircraft collision with building following runway overrun

3 fatalities • Nyíregyháza, Hungary • Landing (descent or approach)

An aircraft failed to stop after landing, resulting in an overrun and a collision with a structure that claimed the lives of all onboard personnel.

What happened

Following the touchdown on the runway, the aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently within the available distance. This lack of stopping power led to a runway excursion where the plane overran the paved surface and struck a nearby building.

As a result of the impact with the structure, there were three fatalities among the crew members on board. No other injuries or survivors were reported from the flight crew.

Findings

  • The aircraft failed to come to a halt before reaching the end of the runway.
  • The sequence of events concluded with a high-energy collision between the aircraft and a stationary building.

Probable cause

The aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining runway length, leading to an overrun and subsequent impact with a building.
