RwandAir Flight 205 was a Canadair CRJ100ER that crashed into the Terminal Building after an emergency landing at Kigali, Rwanda killing one passenger.
[3]: 6–7 The flight took off from Kigali International Airport, shortly after which the pilots informed air traffic control that the left thrust lever had become jammed at the Takeoff Power setting.
[4] Of the 10 passengers and 5 crew, all survived the initial crash with injuries to 10 people on the aircraft and in the VIP terminal.
[7] Post-flight investigation revealed the cable connecting the Left Thrust Lever to the engine assembly had severed shortly after application of Takeoff power.
The pilots did not perform the above procedure, and instead, chose to immediately return to the airport, landing at a higher than normal airspeed due to the left engine still producing takeoff thrust, making it difficult to stop the aircraft and using much greater runway distance than normal.
