A Transafrik Lockheed C-130 on a night cargo flight landed on the gravel runway at Luzamba, bounced back into the air and touched down again. It could not stop in the remaining distance, ran down an embankment and came to rest a short way beyond. All four crew escaped uninjured, but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
