A passenger aboard the Enugu Air aircraft involved in Thursday’s crash-landing at the Benin Airport has shared his account of the incident, describing it as the most frightening experience of his life.
In a video circulating on social media, the man claimed the aircraft encountered heavy rainfall as it approached Benin, with poor visibility making the landing difficult.
According to him, the pilot made several attempts to land before the aircraft crash-landed and veered off the runway into nearby vegetation.
He claimed some passengers sustained injuries during the incident but said he escaped without any physical injuries.
His account has not been independently verified. Aviation authorities have since launched an investigation into the incident.
He said …
