On a trip to Johannesburg In may 1978 the plane was commandeered by the Belgian government and diverted to Kinshasa.
After all these years I have decided to write about my experience at the time.
Among many of the events recalled during the time was the distress of the other passengers.
I tried to help the young mother we sat on a concrete barrier outside the terminal building the twins were restless and couldn’t sleep the mother entrusted me with their care and I recall walking holding their little hands and directed their attention away from the medical teams tending the wounded as they boarded the evacuation planes she tended the baby girl as best she could. I ventured away from the relative safety of the other passengers and tried to find her some milk it turned out to be the most expensive milk on earth several men in the store gathered around me and and took every bit of money I had on me . But I did at least get the milk. I would like to know where the family is now
I have only been able to confirm that they were on the flight and they were going to join the husband in Johannesburg who worked in the mining industry
The family was mentioned during an interview with one of the air hostesses
The children will be in their 40s now. I remember the details vividly and yet even though this small group of people seemed emotional very close I have never been able to recall their names or faces.
Just a chance someone out there may have details
