Bunmi Adams, a survivor of the 2005 plane crash involving a Sosoliso aircraft that claimed the lives of almost 110 passengers, recently joined the golden jubilee club. Many thought she would roll out the drums in celebration, instead she opted for an elaborate photo shoot which she splashed on her social media pages, while accompanying the pictures with emotional notes of thanksgiving to her creator for the grace to be alive to mark her 50th birthday.
Adams, who was a personal assistance to late televangelist and relationship coach, Pastor Bimbo Odukoya, wife of Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, the founder of Fountain of Life Church, Ilupeju, Lagos had travelled with the Pastor to Port-Harcourt, Rivers State aboard a Sosoliso Airline Flight 1145. The plane crashed while landing at the airport and burst into flames, killing almost all the passengers on board. Seven survivors were quickly rushed to the hospital, but only two eventually survived the crash. Pastor Bimbo Odukoya survived the initial impact, but, unfortunately, she died from injuries sustained from the inferno the next day. Adams survived with a 40 per cent burn and was in the hospital for a couple of weeks recovering from the incident.
