First of the newsreports:

'Look at the plane, it is flying very low': News24: SouthAfrica: News

Sounds like a Bae 146?

The A/C landed on the school field roughly 1 mile from the end of 06, considering all things they did an excellent job.
Apparently Comair did try to inform Airlink J41 of excessive smoking coming out from their engines but due to transmission interruption it was not heard.
Speedy recovery boys.
