    What: Hewa Bora McDonnell Douglas MD-82 en route from Kinshasa N’Djili to Kisangani Democratic Republic of Congo to Goma
    Where: Kinshasa Democratic Republic of the Congo (Zaire)
    When: Jun 21 2010
    Who: 101 aboard
    Why: When a tire burst on takeoff, hydraulics and an engine were affected. The pilot had to return to the Kinshasa airport and dumped fuel next to the airport, but could not land well because of the damage. On landing, the plane veered off the runway but came to a stop safely in the rough off the runway. In fact, it is the condition of the runway that appears to have caused the problem–assuming the plane ran over a pothole or bump which caused the hydraulic problem and forced the left engine shutdown.
