Factual narrative

REPORTEDLY, THE PLT LANDED LONG. HE THEN APPLIED BRAKING ACTION & 1 WHEEL LOCKED. AT THAT POINT, THE ACFT WAS STILL GOING TOO FAST TO STOP ON THE REMAINING RWY & THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT RWY TO GO AROUND. THE PLT STEERED THE ACFT OFF THE END OF THE RWY & IT WENT INTO A DRAINAGE DITCH & WAS DAMAGED. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
