From the Wikipedia article
The All Nippon Airways Oshima Airport overrun accident (Zennikkū-ki Ōshima Kūkō ōbāran jiko) is an aviation accident that occurred on 8 September 1977 (Showa 52).
Overview of the accident
All Nippon Airways Flight 855, which took off from Tokyo International Airport in Tokyo at 1 pm on 8 September 1977 (Showa 52), was operated with a YS-11 (registration: JA8755). It attempted to land from the south at Oshima Airport on Izu Ōshima at 1:44 pm, but after touching down around the middle of the 1200m runway, it overran, its wheels caught in a drainage ditch and broke off, it made a belly landing, and the aircraft was moderately damaged. In this accident, of the 55 passengers and crew, 13 passengers suffered injuries requiring 3 to 10 days to heal fully.
Cause of the accident
On 13 February 1980 (Showa 55), the Aircraft Accident Investigation Commission of the Ministry of Transport announced that the cause of this accident was that, on landing, the aircraft touched down at high speed near the centre marking of the rain-wet runway, so it could not stop within the runway and overran.
