I don't think that ended well for the occupants!


You'd think but reportedly nobody was hurt:

"Engine failed, undershot & undercarriage collapsed"

Maybe 'engine failed' is code for 'engine fell off'.

Not a type I'd heard of before but apparently this was the only one of 30
flying Dons to have an accident.
