The accident occurred after the aircraft hit power lines on its final approach to the airport during poor weather.[1][2] The aircraft was attempting an emergency landing due to a fire in one of its engines.[2][3] Only two of the 69 occupants on board survived.[1][4] The cause of the crash was ruled to be pilot error.[4]
