A Biman Bangladesh Dash 8 Q400 flew an unstabilized RNP approach to Yangon in poor weather with a thunderstorm nearby and did not go around. It ran off the runway after landing and broke into three sections. All on board survived but many were injured, and the aircraft was written off. Myanmar's investigators found the crew did not start a go around and selected the propellers to beta range.
