An-124 Overruns Runway After Engine Failure - AVweb

Runway is about 11,800 ft long, so lack of runway was not likely an issue. Seems pretty clear they had mechanical problems that prevented them from slowing down.

The pictures show a lot of damage in areas that could disable systems (fuselage, wing root, etc).

My initial assessment is that the crew did the best they could under the circumstances.
