What happened
During an unspecified period in 1997, an aircraft was struck by ground-based fire while in flight. Following the impact, the crew initiated an emergency descent to perform a landing in the vicinity of Gogrial. The aircraft subsequently crash landed and continued to slide for approximately 200 meters from its initial point of contact with the ground.
Although the wreckage remained at the coordinates N08.542051 E28.09754 as of July 2009, there were no fatalities or injuries reported during the incident. The aircraft was determined to be a total loss following the impact and subsequent crash.
Findings
Investigations into the event indicate that the primary factor leading to the emergency landing was the impact from ground fire.
