Goma,
This was not a take off incident. Apparently the aircraft reached the UTA and FL230. It was reported to have checked the silos at 8000 feet. If you have flown there you must know that a 1900 would comfortably glide into JKIA from overhead the silos at that altitude.
Sadly it appears to have been a management decision to return the stricken aircraft to wilson airport.
The crew attempted to land on runway 32 at HKNW.
I knew the captain and met his family. My condolences to the families.
