An Akalite who lives in the city of Sao Paulo Brazil by name, Chief Chigozie Sixtus Eze (Supremacy) has narrated to Umuaka Times correspondent in Brazil how the plane crash happened that took the lives of 68 passengers took place. According to Chief Eze who hails from Uba Umuaka and lives in the city of Sao Paulo, he and some of his friends were in the gym house when the crash happened. “We heard a very loud bang and we were surprised. Minutes later, it was disclosed that it was a plane crash. As you know, a developed country like Brazil, before the crash, helicopters and other emergency responders were already waiting for the final bad hour.
From what Chief Eze disclosed to Umuaka Times correspondent in Sao Paulo, no Akalite was involved in the plane crash.
According to CNN, the plane carrying 62 people crashed on the outskirts of São Paulo on Friday afternoon, killing everyone on board.
“The flight left Cascavel, in the Brazilian state of Paraná, and was en route to Guarulhos, in São Paulo state, according to Flightradar24 data. The plane crashed in Vinhedo — a residential area in the western part of the city.”
Umuaka Times gathered that the crashed plane was manufactured in the year 2010.
Meanwhile a man who was denied the chance to board the ill-fated plane as a result of his lateness to the airport has been in shock after he heard the news of the crashed airplane.
Adriano Assis, the man in question narrated “how he finished his shift at a hospital and was running late to catch the 11:56 am flight at Cascavel Regional Airport in Cascavel, Paraná to São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport in São Paulo.”
According to a popular Nigerian blog, “Assis got to the airport early enough by 9:40am, “but there was no agent at the counter to check him in so he waited upstairs and had coffee to pass the time.
He was hoping to hear an announcement on the microphone regarding check in for his flight, but there was none and no one said anything.
After a while, he came downstairs by 10:30am, there was a long queue and he waited.
When it clocked 10:41, an airport staff refused to let him check in because it was already an hour to boarding time.
Mr Assis was said to have engaged in an argument with the airport staffer who still refused to let him board. All his pleas fell on deaf ears and he resigned to his fate.
In no distant time, “Voepass Airlines flight 2283 crashed behind a condominium in Vinhedo, a city in the southeastern Brazilian state of São Paulo on Friday.”
The stranded passenger was still at the airport when he heard the news that the plane has crashed.
Umuaka Times correspondents in Brazil also reported that there were also 10 others who could not board the flight because they were at the wrong gate.
