As per reliable source, it was a routine landing that ended up in hard landing leading to a tyre burst. It then skidded off the runway struck the wall. Glad that all crew members are safe.

Their c130 safety record is miserable. Earlier in 97 or 98, two were lost when a c130 with failed brakes hit another one parked on tarmac, both were writeoff with 5 dead. In another one in early 70s a C130 during full power gr run, jumped chocks and hit one parked in front, both destroyed. In addition three were lost in flying accidents, incl one of gen zia.
