The true cause of the plane crash that killed nine people, including our dear Dr Myles Munroe last November has now being officially confirmed. This was revealed by The Department of Civil Aviation Aircraft Accident Investigation and Prevention Unit (AAIPU) in the Bahamas.
The AAIPU issued its final report on the crash that occurred on November 9 last year.
According to the report: “The AAIPU has determined that the probable cause of this accident was...
the poor decision making of the crew in initiating and continuing a descent in IMC below the authorized altitude, without visual contact with the runway environment,” .
Dr Myles Munroe, founder and president of Bahamas Faith Ministries International (BFMI), his wife Ruth, Dr Richard Pinder, Lavard and Rudel Parks, and their son Johanan were on board the bombardier Learjet piloted by Captain Stanley Thurston and co-pilot Frankan Cooper. Diego DeSantiago, 38, a resident of Colorado in the United States, who frequently travelled with Munroe as a translator, was also killed in the crash.
The AAIPU said that the aircraft with registration number, N17UF, had made an initial approach to Runway 16 at the Grand Bahama International Airport, but the crew decided to execute a go around procedure due to poor visibility and rain.
“During the second attempt, the aircraft struck a crane positioned at Dock # 2 of the Grand Bahama Shipyard at approximately 220 feet above sea level, some 3.2 nautical miles (NM) from the runway.”
A fireball lasting approximately three seconds was observed as a result of the contact between the aircraft and the crane.
“The right outboard wing, right landing gear and right wing fuel tank separated from the aircraft on impact. This resulted in the aircraft travelling out of control, some 1,578 feet before crashing inverted into a pile of garbage and other debris in the City Services Garbage and Metal Recycling Plant adjacent to the Grand Bahama Shipyard.
“Both crew members and seven passengers were fatally injured. No persons on the ground were injured,” the AAIPU reported.

Oh, can u imagine that. May God forgive them
It's not indecision. It's carelessness and that's how they waste people's life
That airline need to be sued. What rubbish decision is that?
Let's leave them for God to judge. They just sent a man that would have live to live more than 100 years to early grave cos one man is unable to make a quick decision
What a tragedy!
RIP Pa Munroe
