Circumstances
   
 
By night, the aircraft landed on runway 33 under construction. While hitting a big hole (approximately 100 meters square and half meter deep) located in the center of the runway, the aircraft lost its undercarriage and crashed shortly after. All occupants were injured and the aircraft was destroyed upon impact. No NOTAM announced the presence of this big hole in the runway which was under refection at the time of the accident. The crew did not see and avoid the hole due to the fact that the runway was unlighted.
