One of the worrying aftermaths of the helicopter crash has been the rush to say something by certain politically exposed individuals who think they know it all under the sun.
The remarks of such persons are not helping the healing process required at this time by both the bereaved families and the nation at large.
The many cautions for measured remarks have not worked and we predicted such an outcome.
People want to be heard when there is no need for such commentaries. Subjects which should be left for experts to tackle are seized for political leverage and messed up by uninformed and stupid logic.
Some of the commentators under review seeking to skew such a national tragedy present their unnecessary and unproductive opinions in manners which demand condemnation.
What sense is there in claiming that some acid was applied to working parts of the chopper before the ill-fated trip? Simply put, this is balderdash.
One of the commentators went technical as though he understands aerodynamics more than aeronautical engineers and aviation accident engineers.
Listen to one of them on a radio station: “the helicopter parts were scattered over a large area and even remains of passengers onboard strapped in their seatbelts were not found at the same place. This means there was an explosion in the air before the chopper crashed.”
What this commentator is putting out is that a bomb exploded onboard. At a time when the President has told Ghanaians that experts were coming from the US to come and investigate the accident won’t they shut up and stop exposing their mischief and ignorance?
Perhaps they must ask the President to reverse the decision for the investigators to come and do their work since they have already know what happened.
The usual politicization of every subject in this country is not helping us and the earlier we changed our ways the better it would be for us.
Technical issues such as aircraft accident investigations are specialized areas and should not be left at the hands of these masters of everything and masters of none.
It can only be imagined the erroneous impression their remarks have created in the minds of some compatriots who are unable to follow independently such subjects.
How does one process the lie that some technicians at the Helicopter Squadron hanger applied some acid to the working parts of the chopper prior to takeoff so it will crash?
The Air Force Base is a restricted area where things are done regimentally. Such stupid comments are insulting to the personnel of the Ghana Air Force. As they go through the healing process the hardworking Ghana Air Force personnel should be spared these imbecile remarks.
If those advancing them are stupid we who listen to radio are not. Spare us the nonsense please!
