We had taken off and were airborne for over 2 and half hours when the pilot announced that there is a technical fault and that we should remain calm.

We lost our calm when the plane began to shake on air so the pilot had to jettison some fuel over a deserted island so as to avert any fire outbreak Incase of crash landing.

We were airborne for over 4hrs before we finally had a tough landing at Johannesburg international Airport in South Africa."
