acmi,
in fact, it was a DC10, CIU flight 4855 - OB1749 www.airliners.net/open.file/362293/M/
Wide body + night landing + high Vapp + heavy rain + poor visibility + gust wind + slippery and short runway = ... .
In short, some preliminar report: 4 on board, no injuries, runway 15 LOC antenna damaged, nose gear collapsed, damage on one engine. The airplane stopped only 1000ft after runway end...
By the way, there's a squall line over Curitiba yesterday, and several big cells, heavy rain and hailstone reports during late afternoon in the area ...
Some video and photos can be found on www.screenair.kit.net (in Portuguese).

thanks for all who replied,a trusty mate supplied some pictures which wernt detremental only focused on the event, you could possibly scratch 1 hull there and for what its worth.maybe freight dogs should discuss the culture of going where nobody else goes
well done the crew.. at least no major disaster occured

...... but lots of others go there ..... what is perhaps more relevant is that the Brazilian authorities changed the VOR approach from 339 (offset) to 331 (the runway direction) but this was two days after the accident ....
