Incident Overview
The aircraft completed its final approach at night. The crew had left the wheel brakes engaged during the approach. Upon touchdown, all tires burst simultaneously. The left main landing gear detached from the aircraft, causing the left wing to strike the ground. The impact punctured a fuel tank, and a fire erupted. The aircraft went out of control, veered to the right off the runway, and came to a stop fully engulfed in flames.
Occupants and Injuries
All 89 occupants on board survived the accident. Ten individuals sustained injuries, including two crew members. No fatalities occurred.
Aircraft Damage
The aircraft was destroyed by the fire. The extent of thermal damage was total.
Probable Cause
The official investigation determined that the probable cause was poor approach planning on part of the flying crew who failed to follow the approach checklist and completed the landing procedure with the wheel brakes locked.
