They should all be alive, but that is what happens with aviation and Third World Countries. Yemamia are banned from Europe due to very slack maintenance standards. They are on the European black list and on watch lists for several other countries. This particular aircraft was grounded 2 years ago due to several major maintenance issues (read structural defects/corrosion).

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
