Seated at the right wing of the plane,Bomfeh narrated “we heard a very loud explosion…huge noise. Somehow the pilot was able to bring it around. We had do an emergency landing. It was a very frightful event”.
Bomfeh said he was disappointed that despite the traumatizing experience, no official made “at least an attempt to calm us down”
He said “I couldn’t sleep last night because I had trauma-induced insomia…heard the sound of the engine and the fire”
