Nothing works in Ghana due to filthy brain, curruption, stealing selfishness. Instead of using the prfits the airline makes to buy new parts to fix problem, the Ghanaman will pocket the money to find girls, get new houses, cars etc. You wait, they will come out with excuses.

Mind you , there is a big difference
between a car and an airplane. Aircrafts have a maintenance schedules
and do not wait until there is a problem before rushing to the engineers

JSS journalists, the "poles holding the tires" are called landing gears. Sounds like the teacher who told his class hypos are water cows. See what Jerry Rawlings' JSS has done to Ghana?

Thank you Joe Turkey. Some journalists indeed. They feel too proud to ask for the correct names. I felt ashamed when i read " the polenholding the front tyres". Shocking indeed.

In some countries like USA,it is called tires. But in any case, the writer needs some technical writing skills.

Maybe that is why it is called landing gear, it is a system or collection of parts. The metal poles, the rubber tyres plus other components. The poles alone cannot be the landing gear, can it?

You are right! Some Education we have in Ghana, theory theory, theory, nothing practical and yet we tell graduates to do something for themselves. What have we equipped them with? Just chew and pour the exam notes that the lecturer has prepared 30yrs ago that never changes or keeps updated!!

Now back to the issue, if he oxygen masks had deployed means the impact was very great cos there are rough landings that don't deploy oxygen masks anyway so this must have bn pretty much an impact with some force.
Mr kindagarten journalist , in such situationsthey don't disembark, they are actually evacuated cos it's an emergency either catastrophic or otherwise, smh!

Please let's not be quick to lay blame when we are not informed of what really happened. I highly doubt those making the uneducated remarks know their facts nor are they educated on how the airline industry really operates.

I am most grateful to Almighty God that there wasn't any disaster and all passengers and crew on the aircraft were disembarked safely. I also wish to appeal to the appropriate authorities commence investigation immediately to establish the caused. This is normal incidents which do happened with Starbow air crafts all the time. It is clear that Starbow air crafts are not "AIRWORTHY" "INCOMPETENT CAPTAINS" and "INCOMPETENT MANAGEMENT". The Ghana Government should suspend Starbow operation until further notice !

everyone wants to show his grammar instead of thanking God for the safety of passengers and crew. sometimes its better to shut up for ppl to think you are a fool than to open your mouth to remove all doubts. Taxiing according to the Advance English Dictionary is "the movement of aircraft on the ground in readiness for takeoff or after landing". Apart from the journalist's wrong spelling, he was right in the usage of the word 'taxiing'. u don't only taxi to takeoff. u taxi after landing too. Peeee take note and don't throw stones when u live in a glass house.

Don't show your ignorance,i didn't mention taxiing after landing cos it clearly states it was taxiing to land,how the hell can you taxi to land when you already on land??it should be circling or approaching to land.

"It is unclear what triggered the unusual landing but sources say the pole holding the front tyre of the plane developed a problem while it was taxing to land properly". The quality of reportage is appalling. There is no pole that holds the front tyre and air planes do not taxi until they have actually landed.

I am really scared about this Starbow accident. One Rev. Amed told me on Saturday that star bow is likely to be involved in a terrible accident but he has prayed against it. He was worried and I narrated to him about an accident which I saw some years back on the Tamale road. I am really shocked about this revelation by this Reverend.
