Notes:
This ATR of the RTAF skidded of rwy14 at VGZR during landing,at about 8AM local time.It was on a cross country training flight,of the total 15 pax 3 have been seriously injured.Its initially being suspected that either the right wheel collapsed or the right main landing gear brake jammed upon touch down.I reached the airport 20mins after the incident.Nobody was being allowed near the crash site then as it was in the BAF area of the airport.To take this shot I had to board a flight to cox's bazar on a Regent Airways flight as it was the only flight leaving in 6mins,sat in the jump seat of the dash-8,didnt fasten my seatbelts as I had a hunch that the a/c would rotate before the crash site and it did!So i jumped over the first officer's shoulder,pushed him front and took the shot!Thanks to Partho bhai,hasib bhai,zafor bhai,a former aviation analyst and also cpt Azam and Karim for letting me ride 3rd!Dedicated also to you Tasnim Ahmed!

Congratulations on getting the shot Karib... interesting story and, of course, glad no fatalities although my thoughts are with the injured. All the best, Paul
