Unfallbericht:
A Fokker 100 passenger jet, PH-KLC, sustained substantial damage in a landing accident at Genève-Cointrin Airport (GVA), Switzerland. All 95 passengers and five crew members survived.
Flight KL321 had departed Amsterdam-Schiphol International Airport (AMS) at 13:06 local time on an international flight to Genève-Cointrin Airport (GVA). The flight was uneventful. At the end of the approach in the automatic mode, the aircraft landed gently on runway 23. Immediately after the aircraft developed severe vibration, which increased causing the fracture of the left main landing gear leg. The left wing struck the runway and the airplane came to rest at the left runway edge.

Probable Cause:

Ursache: Der Unfall ist auf den Bruch des linken Hauptfahrwerkes nach dem Auftreten heftiger Vibrationen zurückzuführen.
Zum Unfall haben beigetragen:
- Ungenügende Dampfung des Hauptfahrwerkes und seines Anschlusses an die Struktur als dynamisches System;
- Zufälliges, gleichzeitiges Auftreten von Faktoren, die eine Resonanzschwingung des linken Hauptfahrwerkes verursacht haben.
