the incident happened on take-off at a runway in Sudan that is clearly not designed to accommodate DC3 Turbines. Left wheel sunk. Recovery crew is at present in Sudan replacing one engine and two props, expect to fly her out later today. (Saturday). A combination of factors led to the incident, all due respect to the crew certainly not their fault.
If it wasnt suitable for tdc3 and the crew opereated in for whatever reason then they have some culpability.

all OLS strips have a type limit, wet/dry landable/unlandable.

or maybe it was the runway SLOPE,or the SLOPE in the airplane
