An Inter Airlines slipped of rwy06 in IST on Sun. morning 25/07. Both left main wheels burst after t/d and the left main gear collapsed causing the acft to leave the rwy.
Acft beyond repair - nobody injured. The newspaper reported that pax opened the cabin doors to evacuate the acft. The flight was a holiday charter bound from DUS to IST.

Didn't find any pictures on the net to attach

Translation of the Der Spiegel article:

The Turkish Fokker 100 aircraft with 108 souls on board came to a halt on it's left wing after the left main gear broke off on landing.

There was a big bang just as the passengers were applauding the landing. The people screamed. We were very frightened. Before the evacuation slides were deployed, some people opened the over wing emergency exit and attempted to leave over the left wing.

No mention of any caualties.
