Saw from my balcony this morning, looks like another of their twin otters had an eventful landing on the palm jumeirah landing strip.

Reports are only pilot onboard, no major injuries. From what I can see the right wing is crushed and it's resting on a 45 degree angle.

Fire Brigade was hosing it down, but could not see any obvious fire.

Two hull losses in a year :ouch:

Their discripton of a "minor accident" about as comical as Air Canada's discripton of their " hard landing" in Halifax.
