Hi.
Accident: Jetlink Air CRJ1 at Kigali on Nov 12th 2009, throttle jam, impacted terminal after return
Updated information from a pilot who knows Jetlink crews:
Engines went to full power, uncommanded on takeoff. After takeoff, they shut one down using the emer shutdown procedures (do not know what they are in CRJ). They landed with one engine at full power, and taxied back to parking.
The report above says just before chocked, the airplane started moving (hot brakes couldn't hold plane anymore???). The pilots tried to shut down the engine with emer procedures, but were unsuccessful. Crashed into building, and capt had broken leg, and FO broken ankle, so they are OK.
One pax was taken to the hospital, and died when ambulance crashed. Heard in Kigali that ambulance killed two bystanders.
Kudos to fire crews who put out fire, otherwise would have been a number of casualties.
