Even in that accident it would be reasonable to describe the 125 as a "tough bird". The aircraft remained substantially intact after overrunning the runway, crossing a ditch which tore the gear off and hitting a passing car and some concrete posts before coming to rest.

All 9 occupants escaped, 8 without any injury, although tragically all six occupants of the car that was hit perished.
Am I mistaken, but weren't the occupants tragically killed in the car one of the crew's wife and kids on their way to the airfield "to see dad flying" ?
