According to TRT World, Ahmed Khalid was poised to take the first flight to Nairobi, which was ET202 that crashed on Sunday, six minutes after leaving the airport, forcing him to take the next flight. ​“Because of the delay from Dubai I missed the first flight to Nairobi...one passenger saw on his mobile the first plane which had just flown, like six minutes after it flew, it had just crushed,” said Ahmed Khalid. The Ethiopian Airline had 157 on board as it left the airport but regrettably, they were all pronounced dead. Among the 157 casualties, 32 were Kenyan. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
