Triple Pin Speaks on the Incident
In a video that quickly gained traction online, Triple Pin, whose real name is Chimade Edum, gave a raw, emotional account of the moments that unfolded during the flight.
He described heavy rainfall before landing and recalled noticing that the windows did not shatter, despite the turbulence.
He said the pilot struggled to find a suitable landing approach, rotating multiple times before the aircraft lost control and veered into a bush area.
He described hearing repeated banging sounds and witnessing some passengers sustaining head and leg injuries during the chaos.
Speaking directly to the camera, a visibly shaken Triple Pin said:
"I survived plane crash today... our plane crashed today... serious rain before, serious rain, as I look in the mirror, all the mirrors don't blow. Now when I lost control, I went into the bush and saw our plane. Boom, boom, boom, boom. People they break head and leg. I witnessed the plane crash today. The reason our plane didn't catch fire because of the serious rain before."
