The manufacturers are “seriously concerned” about the fault because it is the first time an airbus 330-200 has developed such a serious fault which could be a manufacturing error, the sources said.
Engine failure .......... aircraft manufacturing error? A bit of a non-sequitur?

One of the passengers who sought anonymity, said the plane departed from Kenneth Kaunda International Airport around 21:00 hours but got “stuck” in one position in the air for some minutes.
She said the aircraft shook abnormally as it landed on the runway as some passengers panicked.
I think I'd 'seek anonymity' if I made a comment like that too!

It's a HRE originating flight and I believe a friend of mine was on it. If so, I'll post her account of it when I hear from here, as she is a very rational and level-headed person.
