Many passengers cheat death as Aero aircraft develops fault mid-air
No fewer than 200 passengers and crew members on board a Port Harcourt-bound Aero Contractors aircraft have cheated death as the developed fault mid-air on Thursday morning.
It was gathered that the aircraft took off at about 8:40am from Abuja but few minutes into the flight, the pilot announced he had to return back to Abuja for emergency landing.
The passengers initially did not understand the gravity of the technical issues the plane encountered until it was almost impossible for the pilot to land safely in Abuja.
“We later realised that the engine had serious issues like hydraulic leakage or something like that. It was terrifying.
“Many people on board started crying and saying their last prayers.
“But we managed to land back in Abuja despite the difficulty encountered,” a passenger who did not want her name mentioned narrated.
