"Bodies were too hot to be placed in body bags" was information that was public knowledge. However, the daft press kept hammering this over and over creating the impression that the bodies were not treated with respect. Should they have left the bodies overnight to cool down in the forest? Wouldn't rigor mortise set in or wouldn't wild animals visit the remains? I think under the circumstances, they did their best.

What will it cost to fly a 5 man team of paratroopers from the parachute regiment , less than an 1hr away with body bags. Put the bodies (heated cold or frozen)
in the body bag extract them by air to the nearest mortuary.

Once the victims were burnt and dead there was no emergency at that time. The Army could have provided guard duties overnight for the so called heated bodies to cool off and then put in the body bags in the morning to give them some honor.

The explanation by the CDS does not add up. There was no indication that the person carrying one of the burned bodies in a cocoa sack was showing any heat discomfort. Secondly, there was no need to rush already burned bodies from the accident scene. This was no longer an emergency unlike a seriously injured person. GAF, local police, and local political leadership simply failed the test. The more they talk, the more they make more mess of an already bad situation. It may be time to fire the person in charge of Northern Command, the District Police Commander, and the District Chief Executive. This was a pathetic and shameful picture which adds more trauma on the victims’ families.

YOUR “APO” IS OUTDATED!
Nowhere in Europe, America, or Asia are jute sacks used to convey victims of fires, aircraft disasters, or wars just because jute fibers may conduct heat better than polythene bags. There are various types of body bags in use depending on the circumstances and not one universal standard. Even during the Vietnam war 50+ years ago, heavy-duty black rubberized fabric was used. Our armed forces should have known better and acquired suitable body bags for use. As other commenters have pointed out the CDS’s arguments don’t wash for various reasons.
If you have superior knowledge or arguments, present them in the context of a teachable moment, and not as an opportunity to belittle and insult.

Sometimes these negative commentators always talking never been to forest and how hard it will be from even seven pm. Can you imagine if they did not work faster and dragged it next day and it rains. The people did extremely very well as it wasn’t easy a place to do things fast but they managed to do the best job bringing the bodies out with speed. Well done! I am

Respected General Sir, granted that the body bags melted. I believe that story. However, I have a problem with the slowness of the response. I think the service commanders should have acted proactively to deploy a rapid response team like those so-called special forces who rappel from hovering helicopters during independence parades, to rappel into the forest. So what is the use of their training? Since we all know that paratroopers might get stuck in the trees, they could have landed on the nearest park and continued into the forest. We wouldn't have to wait for paratroopers from Tamale since now every soldier has a para wrong, especially the officers. Please, find out and see the rapidity with which the then Ghana service commanders (not Nigerians) responded to creating ECOMOG in the late 80s, leading to their nomination of Gen Arnold Quainoo as the maiden force commander. Infact, this is too disgraceful. All these are coming at the time when I'm wondering the use of our JUNGLE Warfare school where soldiers train to become rangers, yet, galamseyers are having a fields day in our JUNGLES. Very shameful. Please, the GAF should redeem itself. The GAF has seen better times. The action some of us witnessed in the barracks as children during the 1979 and 1981 coups, and other abortive coups convinces us that Ghana soldiers of today don't cut it. Truth is hard to swallow.

Hey, easy boy the ordinary Ghanaians doesn't care ahoot about ur general or lieutenant or what....they ain't happy ur men weren't there to lift the fallen
......but town folks carried them in sacks....
If the bodies were so hot with the fire, how did the people carry the sacks on their heads. this was an amateurish way of conveying the bodies, period. Very bad and without dignity for those who lost their dear lives in the s ...

The explanation by the CDS does not add up. There was no indication that the person carrying one of the burned bodies in a cocoa sack was showing any heat discomfort. Secondly, there was no need to rush already burned bodies ...

Mr General, you are telling us, the whole country, Ghana, that the remains of your Minister of Defense was bangled in those Cocoa sacks?. And your explanation was the bodies were too hot for a stretcher?.
Pls, general, you h ...

ACCORDING THE NDC THE SEARCH PARTY SPENT ABOUT TWO HOURS TREKKING TO FIND THE WRECKAGE. SO WERE THE BODIES STILL HOT AFTER TWO HOURS?
NDC humiliated your superior for no reason and you quickly accepted your new posts God is watching
Please please my beloved people for Christ and goodness sake let stop all this talks.And allow our hero's rest inside perfect peace. We have to thank God for given all the bodies.That is the most important. Lord have merc ...

But sir respectfully, what happened was unacceptable, That we couldn’t drop any personnel by air for the rescue?? Or perhaps look at how long it took for the news to come. I used to respect Gha army so much. No more
One time I was at the airport and the CDS was travelling outside. Beautiful scene on display. Hours before he arrives so many heads in charge of logistics were on hand putting things in order. The motorcade arrived with the s ...

Jute bags withstand heat much better than polyurethane bags. This is simple science. There are too many illiterates and poorly educated people on this platform who don’t even understand what they write for the public.
YOUR “APO” IS OUTDATED!
Nowhere in Europe, America, or Asia are jute sacks used to convey victims of fires, aircraft disasters, or wars just because jute fibers may conduct heat better than polythene bags. There are var ...

YOU ARE ONE OF MOST USELESS LT GEN IN THE HISTORY OF GHANA AMY. WHERE ARE YOU TAKING THE BODIES TO. TOO HOT FOR BODY BAG BUT NOT TOO HOT FOR SOMEONE TO PUT IT ON THIS HEAD. LOOK AT YOUR HEAD BIG LIKE WATERMELON
The CDS is right. Why as Ghanaians we don’t talk about the positives in line with the hard work these people put in retrieving the body quickly. Sometimes these negative commentators always talking never been to forest and ...

We thank God that the igbos squatting in our kentry did not find those heated bodies before the rescue team, like by now they will still be missing anyway.
If this is the new CDS and because of him many generals have to be sent home then we are joking.
He is not even well coordinated, there is another one at ports and harbors. Disaster.
Pls are we going or we are coming?
For you to allowed ordinary civilians to carried your defense ministers, other high profile govt officials and military men in sacks 3 after the location of the crashed site is located is unacceptable. Even the crashed site w ...

Is the copper insured or sombody go chop free money?
The helicopter left Accra around 9/30 am and the journey to the crash site won't take more done two hours, right? So the radar told them the plane is missing, which in the aviation world told them what we were told later. At ...

Such disgusting people full of wind. Did they walk in fire to retrieve the bodies? Or they had to carry the sizzling meat as some sort of prize?
When we say our soldiers don’t think, people take offense!

this Guy the army CDS is a dick he can't even speak well like a JSS dropout what a how did he get there to be an army chief horrible
He's the army chief and you are jealous. We like him and not you wai. Waste of sperm.
There is nothing wrong with his English. In fact he spoke so well to everyone’s understanding
Mahama is the best,he
Respected General Sir, granted that the body bags melted. I believe that story. However, I have a problem with the slowness of the response. I think the service commanders should have acted proactively to deploy a rapid respo ...

Hot bodies but the poor farmers could carry it on their heads? What a stupid excuse
CDS, please stop talking. The remains were too heated but somebody could carry it on his head, holding with his hands and walking for such distance? We are grieving. Don't let Ghanaians lose trust in you.

Is it not the same "heated bodies" that we saw being carried on human heads? Please, apologise for the demeanour and let's move on
Too hot for body bags but cold enough to carry on the head and held by the hands abi? Can you tell us what their temperatures were? Why didn't you then wait? Why the rush? Would you be happy if it were to be treated this way ...

This has exposed that the Ghana Armed Forces only 10 paratroopers are trained only for senseless show on independence day, every 7th March.
They are not trained for rescue missions. CDS, just tell the truth. Lol
It looks like whenever you found something burning that should not burn you dose it with water.
If you go to a crime scene, found a body burning and you left it to be turned into ashes, then what evidence will you present as ...
