WFP South Sudan reported a 5 year old girl was killed in one of the destroyed houses as result of the go around, 4 more people (a boy, a girl and two women) received injuries. The UN WFP extended their condolences to the affected. The accident happened as result of thunderstorms and heavy rain which impaired visibility on approach to Juba. The aircraft diverted to Entebbe where the aircraft suffered the collapse of the main gear due to metal sheets embedded in the landing gear following the impact in Juba.
Ground observers reported the aircraft was not aligned with the runway center line when it descended through the clouds in about southeasterly landing direction (runway 13) but apparently aiming directly at the "Hotel Rainbow" about 2320 meters/7600 feet southwest and abeam of the runway center line, initiated a go around but struck and destroyed a house and subsequently climbed away.
On Aug 30th 2017 The Aviation Herald received information the aircraft first impacted a tree 1857 meters short of the runway threshold, slightly left of the extended runway center line, then impacted three houses damaging those houses (roofs), hit another tree, collided with a 4th house completely destroying that house and killing the girl, hit another 2 houses damaging the roofs before climbing out to safety, last damage was 1464 meters before the runway threshold. All forward main tyres were shredded during those impacts and debris entangled in the gear struts. During climb out the gear was retracted. On approach to Entebbe the forward main gear struts, debris and tyres entangled with the wheel wells and gear doors causing the two gear struts to not extend and only partially come out of the wells. The aircraft landed in Entebbe on the two aft main gear struts and the nose gear.
