Mishap at Apollo Bay.
Does anyone know what happened at Apollo Bay ALA today (2/10/2009)?This strip can be treacherous when it gets wet and becomes soft.

this is a long shot, but i think it might be due to the fact that rain, being made of a liquid type stuff, and soil being porous, and as a result of these 2 combining during a passing cloud event, resulted in the surface structure of the soil softening to a point where it can no longer support the weight of anything without deforming. aircraft included.

OK, I think we all understand about rain, slippery/soft surfaces etc. Now, how about anyone who knows tell us what happened, type of a/c, any damage and the like along the lines that the first poster enquired.
Thank you Zanzibar. Don't you hate sarcasm when it's not even clever?
Like you, I have an interest in what happened at YAPO, if anything. It's on my list of places to visit sometime.
