Circumstances:
After landing at Banlung Airport, the aircraft encountered difficulties to stop within the remaining distance. It overran, lost its undercarriage and eventually collided with a building. All 42 occupants evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. It is believed that the braking systems failed and at least one tyre burst after touchdown.
