At 1921, the flight departed Amsterdam. The takeoff and initial climb were normal until 1927:30, the report said. As the aircraft climbed through 6,500 feet, the No. 3 and No. 4 pylons and engines separated from the right wing. The first officer then transmitted to air traffic control (ATC), "El Al 1862, Mayday, Mayday, we have an emergency," the report said.
