Enock great work in doing such documentaries. What makes you great is the fact that you are not just looking to give any stories, yours is fresh work small details that otherwise get ignored by others. You are going places.

I remember this very clearly. Believe it or not, I had almost secured a big interview for Uhuru with the topmost black media personalities in the US, to be held in Los Angeles. The commitment was already there on the US side, and I was waiting for Uhuru's response. Then I got the message back that he wouldn't be traveling. Sigh, it would have been unique. The first and only time I ever heard of something like this happening

Happy New Year, Enock, to you and your family.

I love how you've done this video, and the one about KQ 310. Maybe you can also venture into the previous cases of plane crashes in the country, notably the KQ flights and any other ones that maybe be interesting to be known about. Thank you Kenyan Historian for the good work.

I disagree with the idea of a mechanical fault with the jet. A mechanical fault necessitates an aircraft to divert and land immediately at the nearest airport, in this case it would have been Bole Intl Airport.

It is dependent on the nature of mechanical fault. Not all mechanical fault demand immediate landing. Pan pan pan and mayday mayday mayday are both distress signals to ATC but at different degrees. So yes, it it possible to have a mechanical fault and decide to return to base.

in that case wont it have been logical to proceed to Dubai, leave president to board emirates then work on the mechanical fault in Dubai? mechanical fault isnt likely. i agree with Gichiri, it would have landed at either Asmara or Bole@@georgevictorowino3269

The real Kenyan historian

Nice documentary. However, it is important to note that a plane can develop a mechanical problem at any time, though the probability of such an event is very low. I find the assertion that someone should take responsibility for a part or system that fails midflight trivial and not well thought out. Every effort is made to ensure that any aircraft taking off is airworthy. But once in a while, even brand new aircraft can turn back due to a mechanical issue. For your information, there are parts that still fail and are switched off midflight, and you never got to know. But the events are recorded in the aircraft log for follow-up. The question should therefore be, how severe was the failure (or fault)? Not so severe, since the plane was able to fly back. If it was severe, then they would have sought permission to land at the nearest airport, depending on protocol. The plane cannot fly onwards or land at another airport where it will be grounded, if it is capable of flying back to its base. So if it was a mechanical failure, then their assessment and decision to turn back was based on the implications of landing and being grounded at a foreign airport. Remember too that this is a military aircraft!

🎉❤

Great work! However, the plane was not commandeered.

Listening to this documentary was nauseating.....hammering at the same point over and over. Left with a head ache. Enock i am not a hater but I was so eager to listen to it....personally it fell flat.

Interesting take, if we assess mechanical issues scenario, the aircraft should have been diverted to the nearest airport with is Bole Airport, and not go all the way back to Nairobi. I concur that there was a Tiff between Kenya and Eritrea. Now investigate the day UK refused to board KAF308 in Kisumu 2018.

Hope ur clear is good story moment

why did it not land in the nearest airport if it had mechanical fault, was it not risky to fly back?

This is the flight that ruined the relationship between the president and his deputy it almost brought war between sudan paramilitary and ethiopia airforce

One day. Justice will be served. And he who was responsible shall be covered with shame and rejection and pain. The person responsible is one who wanted to end Uhuru so as to take power in an illegal manner. I think his fate awaits him. I think karma will serve him. I think his fall will be greater, disasters and loud.

Watching a whole 9 minutes of Questions

i had rumours that there was a deliberate move to not clear with Eritrian authorities.. so your guess would be as good as mine on what was planned to happen

State house roof is dented... a tile might fall off and knock out our big guy

When I go through comments here, I realise that some people are trying so hard to drive a narrative that would perhaps go with their own evil motives.

It was not a mechanical issue There was bombardment of air strikes in Yemem by Saudi Arabia which was a sudden war and its a crucial air filight path.

If Yemen was bad, they woulda kept a northern trajectory into Saudia then turn. I just looked at Qatar currently in the air right now. It will cross into Saudia before aiming for Doha. I'm sure Emirates out of NBO do the same.

Similar to what happened to George saitoti,his jet took u turn and never landed safely

I expect we'll never know the truth of the matter.

Ali receive intel kuwa karibu amalisswe. That is where his friendship with RAO started. RAO saved his life, for the second time this night.

Ah I remember this. There were allegations that it was assassination plan that failed.. thanks to the pilot who make right decisions

If a plane develops mechanical issues they first initiate the pan-pan call to assess the issues. If they cannot troubleshoot it they declare a full emergency mayday call. At this point they should land at the nearest airport so going back to Nairobi the story doesn't add up that would be risky considering the president was onboard the flight.

Not only the president but any other person in an airborne aircraft. But good point. That was not a mechanical emergency. Nearest airport landing could have cemented that idea

The aircraft looks old, its maintenance is not well kept, so a new official presidential plane is very much needed for purchase.

@KenyanHistorian. This story is very misleading. There was nothing to do with a technical problem. I saw that aicraft take off and return. It was around the same time that a Notice to Airmen was issued for all aircrafts to avoid flying over Yemen due to the Saudi arabia air bombardment campaign. Kenya Airways flights to the far East ,Dubai and India used the indian ocean route to avoid Yemen. Perhaps the failure of the airforce to take this into account during flight planning led to this air turn back. KQ planes are ETOPS certified which simply means they are aloowed to fly over water for extended range even if an engine fails, they can divert to al alternate airport which is at least 60 minutes away. The prseidents Jet is not certified for that. This means the only route they could use only fly near land. The only option they had was though Saudi arabia for which i believe they had no overflight clearance. The best option was to return back to Base and replan the flight. It would have been very embarrassing for a presidential flight to make a sudden diversion in a foreign country yet they had enough fuel to get back home. Offcourse it caught everyone bu surprise including me seeng GSU police lights flashing from the taxi ways into the state pavilion and seeing the presidential aircraft taxing behind in the dead of night yet ih had departed afew hours earlier. Technical issues would mean a diversion to the nearest suitable airport like Addis Ababa. Lastly, the Pilot in Comand or Captain is the person with the final say in the safe operation of the aircraft and not the flight engineer.

Intelligence

this is very wrong. Why would they fly the president on a faulty plane.

Mech .. issues??? You land immediately..

Let them buy a new modern plane and avoid these petty shames

Mechanical fault reason is one clear lie, the plain could have been grounded to the nearest airport.

You have a very valid point bro but also remember State House, MFA and Airforce seek clearance for the presidential jet from countries it will cross way ahead of travel... So if it wasn't mechanical, someone still let the president fly without his security being assured...

No aircraft was commandeered!!

When uhuru and baba went to kisumu its said uhuru never used the millitary helcopter, later the helcopter fell durle to loose rotors i this true.

It was probably for the best they never landed in Eritrea, i dont think they have the capacity to handle such emergencies

we know the person who was behind the plan.

With a worrisome mechanical problem and an alert , concerned flight engineer okays it fly back to Nairobi all the way from the Red Sea? 😇😇😇

the plan was to shootdown the plane once it entered the Yemen air space, and use the war that was going on in the country as an excuse. It was the beginning of the end of his alliance and relationship with that guy we all know. The difference is irriconsilable.

Commandeered? Don’t carelessly throw words around.

Some falsehoods shared. This jet has a 2 man cockpit, not 3. Where does the Flight Engineer sit? Secondly, the Captain is the one who makes the final decision. Not anybody else. Not even a flight engineer for aircrafts that have a 3 man cockpit. 3rd, a mechanical faults necessitates immediate landing at the safest airport. Not high tail back home. I think his US trip itinerary changed prompting the return home. Saved Kenyans tax dollars too

Mechanical issues but fly home instead of landing at Bole? Lies

What if they try again now that they can steal his goats

Very far from thr truth.
