    En route to Tahoua, the crew encountered problems with the left engine that oversped. Unable to maintain a safe altitude, the crew attempted an emergency landing in a prairie. The aircraft belly landed and slid for several meters before coming to rest. While all 21 occupants were evacuated safely, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. Probable cause (official findings): Technical problems with the left engine in flight for undetermined reasons.
