| Summary: | The captain decided to aborted the take-off. However, the aircraft was never brought to a stop and it continued on overrunning the runway and crashing down a steep slope.

Lack of crew coordination, insufficient emphasis on emergency training, inadequate enforcement of the requirements of the operations manual and a lack of supervision during loading preparation. |
