From what I can remember, the aircraft was skimming along the top of the clouds in an area of super saturation at temperatures around freezing. The air intake baskets were slightly misaligned and allowed a large quantity of slush to build up. This was ingested into the engines which put out the fires.
Fleet realignment of the baskets was carried out and further anti icing was added to the engines. It was also after the introduction of the type and there were a lot of problems which were all sorted out in due time.
I flew over 10,000 hours on the AS332L and it was very kind to me.
Sadly neither of the pilots flying that particular flight are with us (RIP) passing away in non flying accidents
