hi guys this accident is very sad i have seen the crew many times im based in pointe noire and i had landed about two before the antonov 12 there were 4 to 5 miles final rwy 17 when they tried to make to the sea because the engines right side both flamed out and they did not make it. i think they flamed out from fuel starvation no other reason two engines flame out at the same time. minimum fuel to brazaville and back to take more payload. even there take off is scary its get airborne at the very of end of the rwy and it barely climbs. very sad rest in peace
