PLANE CRASH: Meet The
Miracle Man Who Walked Out Unhurt (PHOTO)
It
was miraculous survival for Mr. Femi Akinsanya in yesterday’s Associated
Airlines’ plane crash.
Akinsanya,
son- in-law of the late former Governor Olusegun Agagu whose body was being
conveyed to Akure, the Ondo State capital from Lagos for burial, walked out of
the remains of the Embraer 120 aircraft.
Akinsanya,
along with his brother in-law, Mr. Feyi Agagu, the late Agagu’s son, were the
only family members of the late governor on board the ill-fated plane.
As
it turned out, they were among the seven survivors. As the aircraft crashed,
Akinsanya, a Lagos businessman, was seen walking out of the wreckage before the
aircraft caught fire. He suffered a minor injury on his head.
As
he walked away, apparently conscious, Air Force men who were among the first
set of rescuers at the site, stopped him. They assisted him to stop the flow of
blood on his head. He told them he wanted to go home to join his family,
according to an eyewitness.
But
the Air Force personnel told him he was under the Federal Government’s custody
and could not go. They took him to the nearby Air Force clinic.
The
eye witness said: “I saw one man walk out on his legs. I think he is the only
one that walked out.”
It
was gathered that Aklinsanya broke the news of the crash to the burial party
waiting at the Akure airport to receive the body of the former governor, which
was to lie in-state in the Ondo State capital yesterday.
He
reportedly spoke to Mr. Femi Agagu, the late former governor’s younger brother,
who broke the news to Governor Olusegun Mimiko, who was leading the burial
party.
