3. SOUNDBITE: (English) Awale Kullane, Somalia’s Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations: “Well, my experience started off very well in the morning. I went to the airport, this is the first time I fly out from our new airport and it was very welcoming. We felt very hopeful, everything really looked nice, even the planes that we were riding on, the last time I rode with Daallo and Jubba (airlines) was about eight years ago travelling to, nine years ago travelling to Djibouti so even the planes were a lot bigger and better and the customer service that we received and everything was really going into place, I noted down that things were improving. And when I went into the plane and most people started boarding the plane it was ok, the plane was not that full so people could sit wherever they wanted and there was a bit of distance within the people and then it took off so when the plane took off, roughly I would assume about 10, overall under 10 minutes that I heard the plane stewardess over the microphone saying that you know the plane is, the normal information that it’s above, I think they said it was about 11-thousand foot, you know, asking people not to move around and keep their seatbelts on until the lights are off and things like that, and then I heard a big bang, so, and the smoke erupted so we couldn’t see anything for a few seconds, so it was a bit scary and of course traumatising those few seconds and when things, the smoke cleared I was sitting somewhere I would assume it is the middle of the airplane where I could stretch my legs and most people started moving behind me so I saw kind of a space of a chunk of small area of the plane missing and that air was floating in and out and the oxygen masks had started to drop above us so everything looked a bit more critical, then after a while, you know, me and others, everyone realised that there was something happening in front of us, a few rows ahead of us that I took a video clip after things had settled down and most people started moving at the back of the plane and so I think for the first few seconds and minutes there was, I was terrified and most people were terrified and of course people responded differently to that kind of a shock.” // 5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Awale Kullane, Somalia’s Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations: “I just saw white smoke and you know, there was a few seconds where I didn’t realise where it was and then when things calmed down of course we saw a hole in the plane and the first thing you worry about is can we really make it? It was that worrying feeling was there but it was really traumatising, thinking back right now the first minute or seconds and then when things happen you know I really didn’t think we would make it, but of course after things calmed down it was a lot easier to be hopeful and then at least take out the phone and take a few clips and things like that and by that time I, to my mind, understood it would be a lot calmer and a lot more stable and the plane stabilised and there was not that much turbulence and of course we give credit to the pilot who landed that plane.”
