A Sudan Airways Boeing 737-200 on scheduled flight SD122 to Dongola turned back to Khartoum after the crew reported hydraulic problems shortly after takeoff. Several tyres burst on landing, and the crew, believing an engine had failed, deactivated the thrust reversers. The jet could not stop on the remaining runway and ran off the end, and all occupants got out safely.
