A dramatic scene unfolded this morning at the Hearts Academy in Kpobiman as a helicopter operated by Volta River Aviation Limited (VRAL) was forced to make an emergency landing due to adverse weather conditions.
Amidst heavy rainfall, the football talent hub in Kpobiman transformed into a temporary rescue site as the VRAL helicopter pilot received instructions from Kotoka International Airport’s control tower to land immediately for safety reasons.
The intensity of the rain prompted the urgent decision to ensure the safety of passengers and prevent a potential crash landing. Gratefully, the modern facilities at Accra Hearts of Oak’s Academy provided a safe haven for the helicopter and its occupants.
The VRAL expressed profound gratitude to Accra Hearts of Oak for their swift assistance, which averted a potential disaster and safeguarded both lives and property. The incident serves as a testament to the importance of collaboration and readiness in emergency situations.
