Mohamed Yahya, former director of Comoros civil aviation department, who was also present, said the engines sounded in difficulty. "It looked to me as though the plane was having difficulties landing," he said.

#4 Another on time (actually about 10 miles early) arrival by Air In'Shallah. Troubling reports on French news about the upkeep of this A-310. RIP to those who lost their lives regardless of their faith.
