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.
