A military helicopter, packed with eight souls, exploded into a fireball moments after lifting off from Accra this morning. The Ghana Air Force’s Z9 never stood a chance.

Shaky cellphone footage captured the nightmare: twisted metal devoured by flames, the ground littered with blackened corpses. No survivors. Just smoke, screams, and the stench of burning fuel hanging thick in the dawn air.

The doomed helicopter sliced through the sky at 9:12 AM, bound for Obuasi…until the radar blinked out. Then silence. Then hell.

The Ghana Armed Forces scrambled, their official statement tight with tension:

“All efforts are being made to establish contact.

But by then, the wreckage was already burning. Captain Veronica Adzo Arhin, the military’s acting PR chief, put her name on the grim announcement.

No survivors. No answers. Just a smoldering grave where a machine, and its passengers, should have flown.

Three crew. Five passengers. Names still locked in shadow. Mission unknown.

Emergency teams swarmed the smoking crater where the Z9, a workhorse meant for rescue, not ruin, had plunged from the sky. Its last known position? A mystery.

Was it the storm’s fury? A mechanical scream in the dark? Investigators are tight-lipped, but the whispers have already begun. All eyes now turn to Jubilee House, where officials will soon face the cameras…and the carnage.
