America’s Got Talent star, Kechi Okwuchi, who is a survivor of the tragic Sosoliso plane crash 18 years ago, has penned emotional tribute to her 60 classmates that died in the devastating incident.

On December 10, 2005, a tragic event unfolded when Kechi, a student of Loyola Jesuit College, was on board a plane that crashed at Port Harcourt International Airport, along with her classmates.

In the early hours of today, December 10, the singer took to her social media platform as she noted how 18 years have passed since the plane crash claimed their lives, sparing hers and one other.

She shared her accomplishments from the year, such as completing her MBA and embarking on a new career.

Kechi, however, expressed gratitude to the 60 angels who had been watching over her and encouraged them to continue as she embraced more life experiences and created more memories for them.

She wrote,

“Dear 60 Angels, 18 years have now passed since the Sosoliso plane crash that took your Lives among other dear souls, while sparing mine and I other. 2023 is almost over. Another year, another new set of milestones.”

“I found myself on new platforms and stages with incredible people, I FINALLY graduated with my MBA and started a whole 2nd career, and I still get to travel sing, and share our story with new audiences.”

“With each passing year, every experience, good and bad, has so much more impact and meaning to me. I Live more in the moment and I take less for granted.”

“Angels, thank you for watching over me all this time. Please keep watching! I will continue to Live more experiences and make more memories. For us. Continue to rest in peace”.
