Read the full NTSB narrative
The commercial pilot lost control of the airplane during landing on runway 27L. The pilot reported that a 10-knot tailwind gust raised the left wing during touchdown and the airplane veered off the right side of the runway, where it encountered a berm. As the pilot applied power to realign the airplane with the runway, the nose and left main landing gear collapsed.
