I have trouble understanding how this could happen, the P3 is such a strong performer, both in flight and on the ground.
With those very large props and strong brakes (though not anti-skid protected), how can one go off the runway?

It was landing and many things can go wrong during any phase of flight. I've heard there was a pitchlocked prop involved but that comes from ready room talk, second hand info no doubt.
