What happened
During an arrival at Fort Campbell Air Force Base, the flight crew encountered significant mechanical difficulties immediately following touchdown. The aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently within the available runway length, leading to a runway overrun. The vessel eventually came to a halt several dozen yards beyond the end of the paved surface.
This incident resulted in three fatalities and left two crew members with serious injuries.
Findings
Investigations into the accident determined that the primary factor was a failure of a throttle cable, which led to a loss of control during the landing phase.
