Written off |
Trans Meridian Air Cargo |
Crashed into sea during emergency landing after loosing part of the wing and engine #4 due to an uncontained fire
during take off from Hong Kong Kai Tak. |
| Just after take-off the crew had a no.4 engine failure. The prop was feathered, but
the fire developed. The crew tried to return to the airport but the uncontained engine fire
caught the aircraft fuel system eventually
resulting in a massive external fire. Just 8 minutes after take-off the fire had cut its
way through the firewall and into the wing, resulting the wing structure to fail and
separate. The aircraft went down like a torch and crashed into the sea few miles short of
the runway. |
