The eyewitness said he was gesturing at the pilot to know what was wrong, as it appeared that he had lost control.

His words:

“I was gesturing to him to know what was wrong, but I also realised that the blade of the aircraft had stopped. He tried to stabilise it, but it appears the engine failed him. I could see him making hand gestures at me. The engine went off, and that is how the aircraft crashed."

The video was captioned:

"More eyewitnesses recount two-seater aircraft crash in Tema Community 1."
