| Details: | The cargo plane overran Runway 30 while landing and crashed through the perimeter fence, crossed a highway and striking multiple vehicles. Preliminary indications appear that the aircraft landed long (about 4,000 ft. past the runway threshold) after floating for a period of time, reducing the available landing distance. There were no indications that the speed brakes or thrust reversers were deployed. All five people killed, were inside a van used to shuttle crews that clean planes. |
