Ghana Airways delays and the disgrace it can cause US

On Monday November 30th 1996, I saw one of the must disgracefull and disgusting thing at JFK in New York.

The Ghana Airways flight that was suppose to leave Ghana on the 27th of November, was delayed (As usual) for 3 days due to technical difficulties according to Ghana Airways officials, but the passengers luggage has already been packed.

For 3 days this luggage was left in the african hot sun and all the smoked fish/meat etc that has maggots larvae in them hatched. When the plane finnaly arrived at JFK, the stench that greeted the people at the baggage claim was beyond description. "boy oh boy" it was embarassing. It was so bad that the custom officials at the Airport refuse to search all luggages, so if anybody had drugs, that day was free entry.

There was this bag on the baggage claim roller that had super extra large maggots in them. (The under was torn so the maggots were falling on the roller). Who ever that bag belongs to was shy to claim it, so that "thing" kept going round and round and round and we kept shout, ( "be fa bag nu", "baa woo baggieh" " come take that thing ooh" etc ).

Guys we have to do something about Ghana Airways.
