    Involved in an incident.
    The aircraft departed Oostende, Belgium at 02:00 for a flight to Kinshasa, D.R.Congo. A technical stop was made at Tunis, Tunisia. The crew was unable to perform the runway 24 ILS approach because of an airborne equipment malfunction. They changed to a visual procedure for runway 24, with a left tail wind. The crew flew a short pattern because the pilot considered that he had very little fuel left. The landing was very hard and off centre. The DC-8 slid off the runway to the left. A fire ensued immediately.
