Flight SN542 coming from New York was severly damaged during landing at Brussels airport. During touch down on runway 25L the right main gear collapsed and OO-SCW slowly banked to the right towards the passenger terminal. The crew reacted immediately by shutting down all four engines before ground contact of the right engines and wing. The right horizontal stabilizer was also damaged. The aircraft was repaired and is now back in service with Sabena and was recently sold to Khalifa Airways in Algeria. The aircraft is used on flights between Algeria and the Gulf region as well as Thailand. The entire incident was recorded on video by an aircraft spotter
