Narrative:On takeoff from runway 18 at Khartoum-Civil Airport, Sudan, engines no.1 and 2 failed. The aircraft became airborne but stalled. It struck a high-voltage power-line 1,5 km from the airport and came down on the Green Square.
Takeoff weight of the aircraft, an Ilyushin Il-76TD, was 187 t. It carried cargo, bound for Juba.
The aircraft underwent a 3-month overhaul at Sharjah until 11 June 2008, reportedly equipped with engines which had been repaired by an unlicensed workshop at Sharjah.
