37. 1:30flight went off without a hedge and they
38. 1:32had nearly reached their vacation
39. 1:34destination when everything turned
40. 1:36horribly wrong as the flight made its
41. 1:39final descent on approach to the prince
42. 1:40side Ibrahim airport the flight crew
43. 1:43entered in correct flight control inputs
44. 1:45and instantly the plane started to blare
45. 1:48warning signals the airplane crew just
46. 1:50minutes before landing the plane failed
47. 1:52to comprehend the situation adequately
48. 1:54rather than heed the airplane warning
49. 1:57surrounding them they froze for half a
50. 1:59second too long that delay led to a
51. 2:02crippling aerodynamic stool and the
52. 2:04Airbus A310 suddenly plunged directly
53. 2:07into the Indian Ocean approximately nine
54. 2:10miles from the northern Coastline of
55. 2:11comoros at 1 50 am in the morning upon
56. 2:15hitting the ocean surface the Airbus
57. 2:17plane shattered no longer a plane but a
58. 2:20flotilla of wreckage and death bakari
59. 2:22was ejected violently as the plane hit
60. 2:25the water and found herself all alone in
61. 2:27the depths of the water surrounded by
62. 2:30nothing more than plain debris she had
63. 2:32no life jacket and had only practiced
64. 2:34swimming a handful of times nowhere near
65. 2:37the level she'd need to stay afloat on
66. 2:39the sea thankfully though she was able
67. 2:42to float over to a large piece of
68. 2:44wreckage from the plane and hang on to
69. 2:46it for safety still the little girl was
70. 2:48alone in the middle of the night in the
71. 2:51wide open ocean for what would be the
72. 2:53longest hours of her life bakari
73. 2:56continued clinging to the piece of plane
74. 2:58wreckage for dear life as the reality of
75. 3:00what had happened continued to sink in
76. 3:02At first she heard other survivors
77. 3:04yelling out but slowly and one by one
78. 3:07those voices faded and she felt truly
79. 3:10alone hours passed without any contact
80. 3:12with another human being she continued
81. 3:15to float overnight with no rescue option
82. 3:18inside all she was left with it was the
83. 3:20taste of jet fuel and salt in her mouth
84. 3:22and a burning feeling in her stomach and
85. 3:25body when the sun began to rise the
86. 3:27following morning bakari recalls seeing
87. 3:30a ship on the horizon she thought to
88. 3:32herself that this ordeal was going to be
89. 3:34over but as the ship continued it became
90. 3:37evident to bukhari that the ship was
91. 3:39much too far away to spot a little girl
92. 3:42clinging to the wreckage back ashore the
93. 3:45news of the crash had made waves with
94. 3:47the officials of this small island
95. 3:48nation off the coast of East Africa the
96. 3:51small nation with a population of about
97. 3:53800 000 didn't have a fleet of ships its
98. 3:57entire Army consisted of about a 500
99. 3:59people in the Defense Force along with
100. 4:02500 police officers officials implored
101. 4:05all private vessels in the area to
102. 4:07assist in a joint search mission ships
103. 4:10of all shapes and sizes embarked from
104. 4:12their dogs and set out to look for
105. 4:14survivors at around 11AM local time
106. 4:17roughly 13 hours after the initial crash
107. 4:20a privately owned ship called the
108. 4:22sema-com 2 arrived at the site of the

110. 4:27still clinging on for dear life
111. 4:29initially the crew aboard the SEMA come
112. 4:32to throughout a life preserver to the
113. 4:34young girl but the waters were extremely
114. 4:36choppy and bakari was far too tired from
115. 4:39hanging onto the wreckage all night to
116. 4:41grasp it one sailor recalls that when
117. 4:44she saw the ship moving closer to her
118. 4:46she let go of the debris that had been
119. 4:48keeping her alive suddenly a large wage
120. 4:52flipped her over and she disappeared
121. 4:54underneath the surface only a few
122. 4:56minutes later did she reappear on the
123. 4:58surface at that time claim a sailor
124. 5:00instinctively and heroically it jumped
125. 5:03into the water and attached a flotation
126. 5:05device to her which allowed them to pull
127. 5:07at a safety aboard the ship the crew
128. 5:10immediately gave bakari blankets and hot
