During the aircraft's takeoff roll on runway 03/21,[5] the pilots experienced an "abnormality" and aborted the takeoff as instructed on the official procedures. The plane then veered off the runway, its engines detaching in the process. The engines, as well as the front of the aircraft, subsequently caught on fire. All 122 passengers and crew were evacuated safely, though 36 of them suffered minor injuries during the evacuation.[6]
