Chapter 83 Mid-air Collision
- At 16:55 pm, the flight attendant asked the passengers to put their phones in airplane mode. A few minutes later, their flight departed from the airport. When they were approaching Africa, the fog was so thick, the pilot couldn’t see clearly. The visibility was poor.
- At that moment, the pilot saw another flight coming straight towards them. He tried to descend but it was too late. The two airplanes collided in the mid-air. Four hundred passengers and the crew lost their lives.
- At 3 am, Mr Martins was still working in his study room. He saw the news headlines indicating that Air SA from Paris to South Africa had collided with another flight in mid-air.
