When the aircraft was 80 km out of Mashad and at FL230, suddenly the autopilot disengaged and there were warnings indicating engine nr. 4 was on fire. The plane yawed to starboard. The fire spread to the wing and eventually the nr.4 engine fell off.
A safe emergency landing was made at Mashad, 24 minutes later. The plane continued to burn for another 16 minutes on the tarmac, before the flames were finally put out.
