Passengers pray for their lives as plane delays landing

The passengers were en route Accra from Kumasi in a Starbow Airline flight.

In the video which has since gone viral, the passengers could be heard praying and calling on the name of Jesus to intervene at that point in time.

Others were also speaking in tongues believing that their God will help them.

The video has received a number of comments on social media.

“The tongues be another level chai!!!!!! when you are told due to circumstance beyond control your flight can't land. Lol,” one social media user commented.

Another said, “Hmm as a frequent flyer I can attest it's no joke at all many many years ago I thought it's a pleasure to be on a flight after sometimes doing about 20 flights in a year I know that it's a matter of life and only God knows. God keeps us always the international flights are all the same. I hate flying long hours the longer the fear.”

In an interview with the Kumasi-based radio station, Ultimate FM, the head pastor of Promise Land, Reverend Evans Kyereh Mensah, who was among the passengers on the flight, said the pilot announced they should wear their seatbelts because a storm was approaching.

He continued that the plane started descending sharply and the passengers started shouting and screaming.

“I started praying and shouting and taking control over the atmosphere but still the thing kept defending and people were screaming. At that time all of us knew we were coming to the ground but I still held on to the prayer. Others who were also Christians started praying. A woman held on to my waist and another person held on to my legs and we were all praying.”

“It was a matter of life and death. I could see some of them[passengers] had held onto the seat, some had bowed down their heads, others had brought their children under them, and some were covering their children. "I saw some white guys who had also bowed down their heads. I saw another lady two seats away also praying in tongues and asking 'Lord help us. Lord help us. I join my faith with the pastor’s faith. Lord help us',” he said.

He said the pilot later announced that he had found a place to land and that the plane had to return to Kumasi.
