Part 5/10:

The situation rapidly deteriorated. The pilots attempted to initiate the go-around checklist but quickly disregarded it as they grappled with the crisis. The captain shifted his focus outward to ensure the aircraft made the safest possible landing under the fraught circumstances. In a tragic turn of events, the aircraft stalled and crash-landed about halfway down the runway at a speed of 120 knots.

Damage and Investigation Findings

The aircraft impacted the runway, leading to significant damage, including the collapse of the left main landing gear. Fortunately, the pilots managed to bring the aircraft to a halt just 50 meters from the runway’s end, and evacuation procedures commenced promptly, resulting in only minor injuries for some passengers.
