, there is a remarkable trail of white smoke behind the right main landing gear, starting nearly immediately after touchdown.
briefly shows the right wheels in a rather shredded state (at about 0:50), albeit already after the runway excursion started.

Those two points might well be connected to subsequent lateral control issues on the ground: if the wheels on one side have failed and soft(ish) ground is entered, there may well be a big imbalance turning the aircraft to the right, as has obviously happened.

Unfortunately, technical drawings of the An-24 are hard to come by - but maybe there is somebody around here familiar with the landing gear and brake installation on the An-24? Does the failure of engine #1 affect the operation of the hydraulic system and, consequently, the brakes? Is there a connection between an engine failure and a subsequent tire failure upon landing?
