Circumstances:
For unknown reason, the four engine aircraft landed long. After touchdown, the pilot in command realized he would be unable to stop the aircraft within the remaining distance so he raised the undercarriage. The aircraft sank on its belly and slid for several yards before coming to rest. While the aircraft was damaged beyond repair, all four crew members were unhurt.
