I survived this terrible plane crash exactly 19 years ago on Wednesday 11th August 2004 at around 2:30pm in the afternoon when this Boeing 737 Plane operated by Air Guinea Express crashed – few minutes after taking off from Lungi International Airport.
We were up the air when one of the Engines actually just fell off the plane with a loud supersonic 
BOOM; causing the plane to gyrate and somersault in the air and then, by the grace of God Almighty, it crash landed – right side up – into a pool of thick soaking wet green swamp.
As the plane 
dropped into the swamp, the speed was so high that it continued to travel moving forwards inside the swamp towards the forest. The velocity of impact had created a huge splash of thick mud that shot up over a hundred feet into the air splashing up as the plane moved until it finally stopped before reaching the trees.
The entire plane by then was covered in thick mud. These pictures were taken several days after when the heavy rains had washed the thick mud off the plane. By this time of taking these photos, myself and several passengers had been admitted in hospital.
I had been traveling to Banjul, The Gambia where I had been operating a lucrative commercial communications company that was a premier Consultant to several Gambian state institutions including the Office of the President, the Gambia Telecommunications (GAMTEL) and the Gambia Radio & Television Services (GRTS).
Surviving this crash was a sheer miracle. We give God the Glory. We day ya so first.
We have a purpose to fulfil on Earth.
