The airplane touched down approximately 1/2 way down the runway and traveled off the end. The nose gear extended prior to touchdown, however the main gear did not. The copilot reported that at this time he lowered the gear. The copilot reported the captain continued to descend toward the runway and overshot the runway centerline to the right. The captain reported he requested repeatedly for gear and flaps extension, but the copilot was late in doing so and it "caused us to overshoot the runway centerline." The copilot then began calling for a go around/missed approach at which time he raised the gear and the retracted some of the flaps. After takeoff at an altitude of about 600 feet, the cockpit door popped open and the crew noticed the cargo door was open. The captain reported that prior to takeoff, he closed the cargo door and the copilot confirmed the door light was out. The airplane sustained substantial damage on impact with terrain and objects after traveling off the end of the runway during a main wheels up landing.
