The six cabin crew members who were on board Dana flight 992 that crashed on Sunday, killing everyone on board, have been revealed.
The Captain of the ill-fated Dana flight was Captain Peter Waxtan, 55, and an American.
The first officer, the airline said on telephone today was an Indian whose name was given as Mahendra Singh Rathore while the engineer on board was Bidyo, an Indonesian.
His surname was not given.
There were three Nigerians among them. Vivienne Atangakak, 34, who was to get married on 28 July. She had paid for everything, including the hall.
The other cabin crew was Uche Ulasi who was to proceed on leave two weeks before the plane crashed. The last crew member was Eke Godwin
This is the first time that their identities are being revealed by the airline.
Right before the plane levitated into air, these people must have thought of so many things that would be done after the plane lands, and many more that they must have planned for the days, weeks and months ahead. Alas! They are all gone, and never to return again. This makes life clearer, and reminds us of the value of human existence, because a life being lived for self alone isn't any life at all, so we should live to make others happy, because when we are gone, those lives will testify of our good works. Prayer is that God gives the families the fortitude to bear the losses.
