When a plane flying in the air crashed due to a crocodile

Murphy was saying this about the safety of the plane. I mean the number of systems installed on board. Whatever can go wrong with them, it will one day. Murphy’s words became a life principle. However, it has also been seen that this happens in plane accidents. Sometimes the magnet messed up. Sometimes a single screw causes the entire engine to fail. The cause of the plane crash we’re going to tell you about today was something Murphy could never have imagined. The story is about a country in Africa, where many crocodiles are found.

This is the story of a country in Central Africa. Name – Democratic Republic of Congo or DRC. Right next to the DRC is another country, the Republic of Congo. Both are named Congo but they are different countries. We are talking about DRC. The DRC is one of the largest countries on the African continent in terms of area. Population- 10 crores. Largest city and capital – Kinshasa. DRC is also a poor country like most of Africa. The country has many forested areas and most of the people live in towns or villages. There is a road network to connect them. But most of the roads are narrow and unpaved. Traveling is hard. However, the people of DRC have adopted a better solution.

DRC has a strong airline network. which is decades old but provides an accessible and easy way to move from one place to another. There are two airports in the nation’s capital. The name of the international airport is Jili International Airport and the name of the domestic airport is Ndolo Airport. Both airports are well equipped. But the condition of other areas is not like this. The remaining airports are mostly named after a small building, the size of a post office, and a small flat field named after an airstrip. But the whole system is such that it works. It would be fair to say that it flies. In Congo, planes are used like buses. Catch a plane from Kinshasa. The plane will land in Kiri. People will board and disembark in Kiri. After that, the plane will finally return to Kinshasa, via Bokoro, Semendwa, Bandudu. The boarding and de-boarding process will continue at each base. As in the bus.

So it happened that in the year 2010, one such bus/plane took off from Kinshasa Airport. The month of August A late L-410 Turbolet aircraft took off from Nedolo Airport to India. It was a small twin-engined ship typically used to transport cargo. Or skydiving enthusiasts use it. This aircraft was part of a very old arsenal. which the DRC received from the US. If seats were fitted in this plane, 18-20 people could sit comfortably. There was a storage area at the back, where people could store their belongings.

The eyes were also something else. who was watching the plane from the ground. People in the gun were waiting for the plane to land. But he waited. Suddenly, the plane went down and while diving, hit the roof of a house. The body of the plane was blown up but surprisingly it did not catch fire. So, initially officials thought that the plane might have crashed due to running out of fuel. 18 passengers died in this accident. And the pilot and co-pilot also died. The co-pilot was a British citizen. Therefore, the British authorities also showed interest in this matter. He wanted to know the cause of the accident. Congo had few resources. Therefore, they quickly stopped the investigation and attributed the accident to fuel exhaustion.

Crocodile inside the plane?
British officials were not satisfied with this. He asked for the plane’s black box from Congo. But the matter was avoided. Britain appointed its own expert. His name was Timothy Atkinson. Atkinson, based on limited evidence, theorized that the plane might have stalled. In simple language, leaning forward at an angle during a turn caused the plane to lose balance. Due to which he crashed. The Congolese soon forgot the incident. The matter was supposed to be over but after some time a new story emerged.

A magazine called Jun has published a news item. One person survived the plane crash. However, he was badly injured. He could not tell anything immediately after the accident but then he told his story which was as follows – the two eyes that came out of the cargo bag of the plane that day were of a crocodile. He crawled forward on the floor of the ship. The condition of passengers worsened due to fear. He was trying to retreat. And in this effort everyone got very close to the cabin. Most of the plane’s weight went to its front. In this rush the plane lost its balance and it lurched and crashed. Besides that, there was one other thing that survived the plane crash, according to the person who told the story. That crocodile. Who was killed by people standing at the airport.
