What: Feeder Airlines Fokker 50 en route from Juba to Wau
Where: Wau
When: Mar 29th 2012
Who: 50 aboard
Why: THe runway has been in the process of being repaired for the past several months. The pilots were apparently not advised regarding the necessity to touch down at midpoint due to construction. The first attempt at landing was aborted; on the second, after touching down, the plane left the pavement, and stopped on the ground with a nose and main gear collapse. At least five were hospitalized.

Passengers evacuated with some casualties, including a broken leg.

We sincerely hope ATC and the airport will accept responsibility for any inaction on their part in this matter.
