Factual narrative

THE AIRCRAFT WAS LANDED AND THE PILOT REALIZED HE WAS NOT GETTING PROPER BRAKING. HE DECIDED IT WAS TOO LATE TO GO AROUND SO HE ELECTED TO MANEUVER OFF THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT WENT THROUGH A FENCE AND INTO SOME TREES BEFORE STOPPING. WITNESSES ESTIMATED THE PILOT STILL HAD ABOUT ONE THIRD POWER ON THE ENGINES THROUGHOUT THE THE LANDING ROLL. THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS DRAINED AND ONLY ABOUT ONE OUNCE OF FLUID WAS FOUND ON EACH SIDE. THE NORMAL CAPACITY IS ABOUT FIVE OUNCES PER SIDE.
