747 gear up JKIA
Cargo lux 747 did a gear up landing at JKIA apparently gear problems on takeoff. Returned and did a gear up landing. Details sketchy. No injuries.
Aircraft still on the runway. HKJK is closed, all aircraft are diverting to Mombasa / Entebbe / Kilimanjaro / Eldoret.

Not true at all. I happened to be at the scene and there were many people with cameras including grounded KQ pilot's clicking away with their phone cameras. No attempt was made to stop them. The local press arrived later and took more photo's and TV footage. Sadly, i didn't have a camera on me.
