A Trans Air Congo An-24 cargo flight from Impfondo to Brazzaville was taking off when the pilot-in-command pulled on the control column and the aircraft did not respond. The takeoff was rejected but the aircraft could not stop within the remaining runway. It overran and caught fire, and all five crew escaped.
