Runway exursion - Aborted takeoff, runway too short

This Ilyushin IL-18 Coot, operated by DHL, aborts take-off from the 8202ft long airstrip at Cabinda, Angola. But the airstrip is not long enough.

Thats lowkey the best case scenario. No fire and no collision and stopped in an area where locals can easly access and help. If i was a person experiencing this incident it whould look scary from inside for example the wing section of the plane but in the end u is alive and unharmed and if there was no fire then exits whouldnt be as crowded but i mean some will still but thank god everyone is safe. (I gardened a bit so thats how i came up with this ) and to the person reading this i hope you have a great day and remember that you matter
