Narrative:
An ATR 72-500, operated by Air Madagascar, sustained substantial damage in a hard landing accident at Antananarivo-Ivato Airport (TNR), Madagascar.
The aircraft bounced after a hard landing on runway 11 at Ivato Airport. The left nose wheel then gave way, causing the nose gear axle to contact the runway. The aircraft stopped 700 meters after touchdown.

At the time of the accident a thunderstorm was passing the airport.
