Hi.

Update...
Saw the plane yesterday. It is quite destroyed. It resting on the center wing box, as that has completely detached where the front of the box connects to the fuselage.

Heard that Jetlink lost their contract with RwandAir. Heard from two JetLink FAs that the pilots were sacked soon after the accident.

Kenya Airways had a plane full of pax on the ramp at the time. When this accident started, they were worried the JetLink plane would taxi into them, so they deployed their escape slides. Their PAX exited normally, but the plane then had to fly back to NBO empty, to get new slides.
