What happened
During an attempted landing at Ashiya Air Base, a four-engine aircraft failed to touch down on the runway and instead overshot the landing strip. As the aircraft reached the end of the runway, it experienced a stall and careened into several nearby barracks. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft.
Onboard the plane, the accident claimed the life of one crew member, while eight other occupants sustained injuries. The crash also had devastating consequences for personnel on the ground; the collision with the buildings caused the deaths of nine people and left several others injured.
Findings
The specific reasons why the aircraft failed to land successfully remain undetermined, as the exact circumstances surrounding the mishap are still unclear.
