Now this is a strange one. I love animals but I wouldn't even think about putting 33 lives to risk to save a dog. Anyway, nobody was hurt, but the aircraft....

See here

PS. I'm not sure if the dog had anything to do with the loss of control...I believe it's just a coincidence.

I would say your right in saying that it was a coincidence, as it looks like the aircraft hits a pool of water and it starts to slide about which is after the dog crossed the runway.

Whilst looking at that clip, I spotted this one: here.

The nosegear hadn't retracted (and was stuck with the wheel at 90 deg to the flightpath). Note how gently the pilot brings the nose down after touchdown - then how straight he keeps it - even after the nosewheel has pretty well burnt out. Very professional!

It's all the camera angle I reckon. That plane was some distance away from the dog and the dog was long gone before the aircraft started skidding and went off the runway.

Man, watch those blades fling off!

Great find thanks gojozoom.

I like how the passengers got off almost like normal. I though for a second that they were proceeding to the terminal! but no...

A prop not going into or coming out of reverse I reckon.

Good person to get the info on this item would be Blake , waka172 , Papua NG area

A friend of mine flew the Indonesian CAA and Police to the scene just after the accident, spoke to the pilot.
