So most likely the Kenya Airways flight didn't follow procedure or

Don't pay attention to anything the guy you responded to (above) says about
aviation.

He is a troll, has clinically classifiable psychoses (several, probably) and
is not a pilot of anything other than Microsoft Flight Simulator. He is
wrong on the order of 99 times out of 100. That may be generous.
