My gosh, that looks potentially fatal for those at the pointy end of the accident.

Re: Whoops at Mogadishu!
I was just thinking the same. The phrase 'Reports emerge some of the crew have sustained injuries' sounds like the understatement of the year, but then this is Somalia, where life is not just cheap, but bargain basement.TheGreenGoblin wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2020 9:19 amMy gosh, that looks potentially fatal for those at the pointy end of the accident.

From The Aviation Herald...
http://avherald.com/h?article=4dcceeb2&opt=0
A Silverstone Air Services Fokker 50 on behalf of Saacid Airlines, registration 5Y-MHT performing a freight flight from Mogadishu to Beledweyne (Somalia) with 4 crew, went off the runway 05 while landing in Mogadishu and collided with a concrete perimeter fence at about 09:30L (06:30Z). Captain and first officer are reported to have received minor injuries. The aircraft, that had departed Mogadishu and shortly after departure returned to Mogadishu, received substantial damage.
Locals report the captain was trapped in the cockpit for a while until rescuers were able to free him, he and the first officer received minor injuries.
Local media report all four occupants were rescued without injuries

That's incredible! I assume very low speed.

Re: Whoops at Mogadishu!
Pointy end aloominum seems to have experienced survivable compression fracture, somewhat rare in civil aviation?🥴
Re: Whoops at Mogadishu!
Not really the pointy end any more, is it?
