Ghanaweb, you guys posted a press release by Ghana Civil Aviation Authority that shows the plane was flying from Ho to Accra,, so how come it's now from. Accra to Kumasi? You have a long way to go as a credible News portal.

@ Enock. But don't you know that it is a certain bush man (ekorasi ni ba) called Ayew Afriyie who now owns Ghanaweb. What do you expect? He is one of the Efutu rat's disciples in parliament. A singing band member. Chaii

If the wicked NDC had allowed the Npp to buy helicopters and jet the state needed two years ago, precious life’s would have been saved. Ablakwa and his NDC greedy bastards caused this.

If the plane was actually traveling from Accra to Kumasi, how did it appear and crash in Tema? OMG!! The aircraft wasn't a helicopter. It was a small aeroplane, looking at the picture

So Ghanaians can't differentiate a light aircraft from a helicopter? Is it good to attend school and obtain degrees and remain igrorant or to be an ordinary farmer in the village? We have a long way to go.

@KK. ...just to buttress your point ,and for the dimwits at GhanaWeb

Difference between a Helicopter and a Microlight Aircraft

Helicopters are complex, high-power vertical take-off aircraft with powered rotors, while microlights (microlight aircraft) are lightweight,, usually open-cockpit, low-speed aircraft designed for sport and recreation. Microlights are significantly cheaper, slower, and lighter, requiring less strict licensing than conventional helicopters.

GhanaWeb, please raise the quality of your reporting. A helicopter has a rotor - this microlight does not. It has a fixed wing.

Please get it right and stop confusing your readers with your ignorance !!

Men and adventure, why would you choose to fly in a 25 year old second hand air craft. May your souls rest in peace though.

This small single engine aircrafts do crash in America all the time. They are very common there. I'm surprised that some Ghanaians will fly in such a thing.

Why do you continue to refer to the aircraft as helicopter after all the education given you on its type?
