A Passenger whose name is yet to be ascertained has revealed how over 200 Passengers survived death after a Washington DC, United States-bound United Airline developed fault and made emergency return to Lagos where it took off.
Sharing their experience Friday, the passenger wrote, “Please thank God for me. Last night we had a harrowing experience on United flight fro. Lagos to Washington, DC.
“The plane was spiraling out of control, lost its navigational and other tools. We had gone past Abidjan, and were initially to make an emergency landing in Ghana but the plane later regained all lost tools and we were able to come back to Lagos with some people injured including some crew members.”
The passenger who also confirmed that the incident led some persons to be injured lamented that, “When we landed, we had to wait for medical personnel who took forever to come to the plane. We have no value for human life in this country and therefore are never prepared for emergencies.
“Having survived a plane with major technical issues, surviving the Almighty Nigerian attitude seemed a bigger threat. May God heal this country. We were housed in a hotel near the airport, I am still traumatised like many other passengers.
“I was able to get this video from one of the passengers. Flight has been cancelled due to a technical issue. Please thank God for all of us who survived this near death experience.”
In recent times, there have records of fatalities due to plane crashes in part of the world.
