It looks from the photo that the plane departed the runway to the left before reaching the end.

Avherald reports only minor injuries, whereas the Anchorage Daily News, Newsweek and CBS report two critically injured pax - can anyone confirm which account is correct ?

All 39 passengers and crew were accounted for.
The Unalaska Fire Department transported seven patients to the Iliuliuk Clinic and four other patients were brought to the clinic by personal vehicle. Patient injuries ranged from minor to critical.

Access to Ballyhoo Road is closed and transportation is being coordinated through Unalaska Public Safety. The aircraft may still pose safety risks so the public is asked to stay away from the area.

Weather sequence observed a few minutes after the mishap and posted on Av Herald suggests a tailwind for the landing attempt on runway 13.

I would not have thought this would end in a death - assuming everyone was seated and belted.
But - if that #1 prop penetrated the fuselage once it disintegrated on the rocks......
Photos here from the left side do show significant fuselage damage above/at the window line, abeam the prop. Possibly a prop root still embedded after scything upwards through seat area.

Runway length of 4100 ft (1250m) is obviously marginal in any kind of tailwind or runway contamination. Hard to envision the regular use of 732 Combi aircraft into this station that AS carried out before 2004.

There have been a few deaths from propellor intrusion into the cabin in the last while. Is it not possible to construct a carbon/kevlar panel strong enough to prevent this that would be light enough to install without affecting performance?
Nope. They cannot make an engine containment ring strong enough for turbine blades, so imagine the energy in a much heavier object released from the hub. A friend was once torpedoed by a runaway towbar as they we’re taxiing onto the gate in a Convair 580. The engine was already running down when the towbar hit the prop (at 700 rpm). The blade released and ended up 200m away planted vertically in the ramp.

The point of posting the approach plate and takeoff mins?
The point of attempting to land under those conditions?
Or the point of designing what amounts to little more than a "cloud-break" procedure?

Would the Saab 2000 be category B for circling?
