Just landed in Khartoum on my way to Addis Abeba. The crash had occured three hours before our landing. The aircraft was lying next to the lights at the end of runway 36. Right wing showed fire damage, left wing was up high in the air. Was a bloody hot day out there. Temperatures of 45 degrees C during his take-off. Was told about eight people had died fifteen wounded. The flight became airborne, and reached about fifty feet and came back down, going off the end. Was a "heavily" loaded airplane. That is all I know, will have to wait for the officials to finish their work.
Greetings O.
