Nice pics. Any info why this happened? some faillure with the controls preventing the ac to stay on track?

"safely landed on Passo Fundo's runway 08 and was turning around to backtrack the runway to taxi back to the terminal, when the airplane went off the paved surface of the runway and came to a stop on soft ground with all gear."

The overpaid busdriver f*ckup

Making a 180 degree turn is done slowly so by the looks of the tracks he made, he tried to power him self out of the dirt,....

Nice !
Most landing gears of Fokker tend to break when you "even look at it", so this is actually good news.

Being a mechanic, we tend not to think highly of pilot skills.

There for, overpaid busdriver,...
And the part of f*ckup, it should be obvious, pilot error no doubt (to me) Steering was working, judging by the tire marks on the runway.
So he either started his turn on the wrong section of the runway (to narrow) or with to much speed (wider turn) or he was not on the edge of the runway when he started his turn (plain dumb).

I wouldn't be so plain in words if he would just have stopped after going of track, but if you look at the last photo, he just gave a serious amount of thrust to try to get himself out of it,....

Stupid busdriver!

(Offcourse, this is my personal opinion, pretty sure others don't agree. But i would like to here others opinions.)
