30th ANNIVERSARY

Today, exactly thirty years ago, I arrived the United States.

Also, it is exactly thirty years ago I was in a plane crash.

It was the Nigeria Airways. Thirty odd years ago, and the memory is so vivid it feels like it happened yesterday.

A plane crash is not like a car crash. I’ve survived a couple of car crashes. A Car crash feels like a slow-motion movie.

A plane crash is different.
