Monday, March 09, 2026 - A privately operated helicopter was forced to abandon take‑off over the weekend after experiencing technical issues mid‑air.
In a video circulating online, the helicopter can be seen
attempting to lift off but struggling to gain momentum.
Moments later, it veers dangerously close to a nearby tree,
prompting the pilot to quickly abort the take‑off to avoid a potential crash.
Aviation experts who weighed in on the clip suggested that
poor weather conditions may have contributed to the failed attempt, warning
that such factors can easily escalate into disaster if not managed carefully.
The scare comes at a particularly sensitive time, just days
after the tragic helicopter crash that killed six people, including MP Johana
Ng’eno.
The incident has reignited public concern over the safety of
chartered choppers in Kenya.
