Shortly after departing Amsterdam on a flight to Tel Aviv, the number three engine and pylon separated from the wing and collided with the number four engine.
This collision also caused the number four engine and pylon to separate. Part of the leading edge of the right wing was damaged, and several other aircraft systems were affected.
During an emergency air turnback to Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, the crew experienced problems controlling the aircraft.
