A four-engine airplane failed to stop after landing, resulting in a runway overrun and several injuries.
What happened
Upon completing its landing sequence, a four-engine airplane experienced mechanical or operational difficulties that prevented it from decelerating sufficiently. Due to the inability to halt within the available runway length, the aircraft overran the end of the pavement and traveled several dozen meters beyond the threshold before coming to a stop.
As a result of the excursion, three passengers sustained injuries during the event. The remaining 54 individuals on board were reported to be unhurt. The impact and subsequent movement caused significant damage to the airframe, rendering the aircraft a total loss.
Findings
The aircraft was unable to maintain braking or deceleration control following touchdown.
The incident resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair.
Probable cause
The aircraft failed to stop within the remaining runway distance following landing, leading to a runway overrun.
