An Antonov An-124 Ruslan (NATO reporting name: Condor), belonging to Volga-Dnepr Airlines, an airline based in Ulyanovsk, Russia, and specialized in air charter services, with 14 people on board, overran the end of the runway at Novosibirsk, Russia, on Nov. 13, 2020.
The aircraft, registration RA-82042, experienced what has been reported as an uncontained engine failure during the initial climb after take off from RWY 25 at Novosibirisk. The crew returned for an emergency landing on the same runway and performed a successful and seemingly normal touchdown but did not manage to stop the landing roll (the aircraft was loaded with fuel and probably the breaking action, if available following the failure, could not be used to slow down the heavy plane): the aircraft went off the tarmac by about 200 meters.
No one was injured but the aircraft was heavily damaged.

Since the photo doesn’t appear to be reversed, that would be the inboard Port engine, not Starboard. You can correct me if i’m wrong, I’ll allow it.
Yeah, I goofed. Check out my kidding around on that with HartleyMBaldwin above.
