Video of the Il-76 plane crash in Mali appeared on the Internet
[Regnum] The crash of an Il-76TD cargo plane at the airport in Gao in Mali was caught on video; the footage was published on September 27 by the AviaNews Telegram channel.

Officially, the plane belonged to the Malian Air Force, the video description says.

The plane crashed on September 23 during landing. The footage shows that he rolled off the runway, continuing to move at high speed. Then he tilted and fell, after which a fire started.

As Regnum reported , rescuers went to the crash site. There were no reports of injuries.

In October 2022, a Su-25 aircraft of the Malian armed forces crashed at Gao airport, killing one person.

#3 You can see the tires on the right hand side of the aircraft blow sequentially on landing.

Chinese tires? Remember this headline: "Cheap Chinese tyres bought by corrupt officials’ may be to blame for Russian trucks and armoured vehicles getting stuck in the mud in Ukraine"

#4 I sent this story and video to a retired USMC multi-rated pilot who flew Gulfstreams for a midwest based carrier following retirement. His response:

"Too high, too fast. Some guys are reluctant to 'go around' and end up paying a heavy price."

#5 Too high, too fast.
