Developing Story - Emerging Video From The Airplane Before It's Final Silence

Some Of The Cabin Crew

A Nigerian Born Canadian Professor, Pius Adesanmi among the passengers who loss their lives on the crashed Ethiopian Airline Flight.

The aircraft, Boeing 737 Max-8 carrying 149 passengers and 8 crew members, lost contact with air traffic controllers 6 minutes after taking off. It crashed near Bishoftu, southeast of Addis Ababa as said in a statement released by Ethiopian Airlines.

The airlines said there were 32 Kenyans, 18 Canadians, 8 Americans and Seven British nationals among the passengers.

Pius Adesanmi

Adesanmi flew on a Canadian passport. He posed with the passport in the last picture he posted on Facebook and wrote: ''If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me - Psalm 139:9-10''.

Mr. Pius Adesanmi was a celebrated author who despite residing abroad in Canada kept in touch with his Nigerian audience fervently back home. Friends and well-wishes have since taken to social media to mourn the late scholar.

Following this recent deadly incident, China has just announce the grounding of all its Boeing 737 Max-8 planes.

One Mr. Charles Imuzeze said: it's too early to speculate! All we know for now is that the B737 Max is a brand new aircraft. It's faster, more economical and lighter. Although last year, a B737 Max belonging to Lion Air in Indonesia went down the same way, just 6 minutes into flight. For now, it's up to Boeing to ground all B737 Max aircrafts till the FAA NTSB comes up with what might have gone wrong.

American Airlines (AA) grounded their fleet after the Lion Air crash October 2018. I can only wonder why other airlines didn't follow suit.

Below is the video that a passenger recorded before the final silence of the aircraft. R.I.P to all onboard.
