I was the sole survivor of a plane crash that killed 152 people – I felt an electric shock & my body was paralysed

THE SOLE survivor of a plane crash that left 152 dead has revealed the terrifying moment the jet plunged from the sky – paralysing her body.  Bahia Bakari was just 12 when she boarded the plane with her mum from Yemen‘s capital Sanaa to Moroni, the capital of the Comoros islands, before it crashed off the east coast of Africa in poor weather conditions.

Bahia, now 25 said: “I felt turbulence but I thought that was normal,” “Suddenly I felt an electric shock that paralysed my whole body and went upwards. I had no chance to react.” What she didn’t realise is within seconds, Flight 626 operated by Yemen Airways (now Yemenia), plunged into the sea with its engines running at full throttle.

The young girl had to wait ten long hours in the Indian Ocean before she was rescued.   During this whole time, Bahia said she had not lost hope that her mum was alive.

Giving her testimony in front of a Paris court, the young woman described the pain of living with her three siblings without her mum. “I knew my siblings needed our mother but I couldn’t replace her.” Overcome with emotion, relatives who were present at the trial, had to leave the packed courtroom. The French court is currently examining flight operator Yemenia, which could face a maximum fine of 225,000 euros (£190,630) for manslaughter and unintentional injuries in a trial expected to last four weeks. Indeed, while the Airbus jet went down in the midst of poor weather conditions shortly before landing in the capital Moroni, it is believed the incident was due to human error. The French civil aviation safety authority BEA initially determined that the pilot’s mistakes had caused the crash. The court is also looking to determine whether the pilot had received sufficient training, as questions also remain as to whether the runway was properly lit. Addressing the court, Bahia criticised Yemenia for not sending any representatives to the hearing.   “I would have wanted them to listen to us, to listen to me, to have felt myself respected,” she said.
