According to Captain Smart of Onua TV, birds caused the crash of the Obuasi helicopter and not some mystical forces; 65% of air accidents are said to be bird guarded.
Onua TV personality Captain Smart made the provocative statement on his Onua Maakye television program that maybe a bird was behind the unfortunate Obuasi helicopter crash, completely rejecting any spiritual explanation for the accident and going so far as to say that globally, birds are probably responsible for 65% of crashes.
Even though modern aircraft are built to survive bird strikes, Captain Smart cautioned heavy birds like vultures and crows from inflicting great damage on engines.
The comments have been met with public outcry, where critics questioned not only the veracity of the figure but also whether it is appropriate to start attributing cause so soon after the calamity.
