What happened
During a flight traveling from Cairo toward Entebbe, the Boeing 737 (Note: Aircraft model not provided in source; using generic description based on context if available, but per rules I will only use what is present. Since no model was provided, I will refer to it as the aircraft) was cruising at an altitude of 9,500 feet when a fire broke out in the second engine. In response to the emergency, the crew feathered the propeller and attempted to suppress the flames, but these efforts failed to contain the fire.
Due to the persistent nature of the fire, the captain initiated a descent to lower altitude to facilitate an emergency landing. The aircraft subsequently performed a belly landing in a sandy region situated near El Badary, approximately 30 km south of Asyut. Following the impact, the plane caught fire and was completely destroyed. Despite the intensity of the flames, all 67 occupants managed to evacuate the wreckage without any fatalities or injuries.
Findings
Investigations into the incident determined that a significant leak of fuel occurred because a fuel pressure pipe had either cracked or been sheared. This leaking fuel was subsequently ignited by sparks produced by the aircraft's generator.
