Afcon 2023: Gambia squad 'could have died' on aborted flight to Ivory Coast
The Gambia delegation have refused to return to the same plane for their trip to Ivory Coast
The Gambia squad travelling to Ivory Coast for the forthcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations "could have died" during a flight that was aborted, coach Tom Saintfiet has claimed.
The Air Cote d'Ivoire flight turned around just nine minutes after leaving the Gambian capital Banjul on Wednesday because of a lack of oxygen in the plane, which prompted many of the delegation to fall asleep.
Saintfiet praised the quick thinking of the pilot for keeping his team safe.
"The local crew said there was a problem with the air conditioning before we took off but that it would be all fine when we took off," Saintfiet told BBC Sport Africa.
"After a few minutes, it was very hot in the plane.
"We all fell asleep because there was a lack of oxygen - some of the players couldn't be woken up. The pilot noticed and we had to return.
"People got headaches and if the flight had gone on for another 30 minutes, the whole team would have died. The strange thing is that the oxygen masks didn't come out - it's good that the pilot realised that this was a deadly situation and so turned back.
"But we are still in shock."
Saintfiet believes the passengers could have been facing carbon monoxide poisoning, but Gambian FA (GFA) president Lamin Kaba Bajo refuted that suggestion.
"I never felt it and it's not clinically, scientifically or medically proven," Kaba Bajo told the BBC.
"Those are individual observations and perceptions but there was not anything like that. I was almost sitting next to the coach and I didn't see anyone collapse.
"I know that people, when a plane takes off, they sleep.
"Some people were dozing, sleeping, but we landed safely. There was not a single incident, we all came down and boarded the bus to go back to the terminal."
Air Cote d'Ivoire has been contacted for comment.
The incident came four months after the Gambian team, who will face defending champions Senegal, Cameroon and Guinea in Group C, were caught up in September's devastating earthquake in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh, when over 2,000 people died.
Despite the experience on board the aborted flight, The Gambia chose to train upon their return to Banjul on Wednesday night, even though some of the squad were unable to do so.
"Some players could not train because of what happened. They still have headaches and that is worrying, while some of the players are still dizzy," added Saintfiet.
"The team requested to train as we had been travelling overnight from Saudi Arabia to return home on Sunday, and Monday as well.
"We trained in a bid to release the stress."

CHOLERA BATTLE HEIGHTENED
PRESIDENT Hakainde Hichilema has swung into action to effect an encompassing cholera obliteration, a bacterial disease usually spread through contaminated water.
Cholera causes severe diarrhea and dehydration and if left untreated, cholera can be fatal within hours, even in previously healthy people.
Mr Hichilema is offering leadership to end the disease that has turned Lusaka and other parts of the country into a cholera zone.
But the rate of recovery through effective case management and continued heightened community sensitization is consoling to the presidency.
Barely five-days ago, Health Minister Sylvia Masebo took a proactive stance to begin an aggressive community sensitization, through mobile publicity, targeted sensitization in congregate settings and distribution of chlorine in affected areas.
The rate of transmission in communities and the demand for bed spaces in health facilities inspired the immediate action to convert the sport edifice, the National Heroes Stadium, into a National Cholera Treatment Centre, which would a day after it's opening, see over 1-thousand plus patients in admission lying on special purpose beds in 15 wards.
In a 'desperate situation require desperate measures' fashion, Masebo, employed a 'kill it or it kills you' arsenal against a 'faecal-oral' disease that had initially filled some facilities in Lusaka like the Kanyama and Matero Level One Hospitals to full capacity.
Republican President Hakainde Hichilema is cognizant of the disease being 'the intestinal infection spreading because of a lack of clean water and sanitation facilities' in most communities hence making the big decision for planned settlements going forward.
The current cholera outbreak is traced to October 2023.
The Treatment Centre is now home to multiple skills like medical doctors, nurses, public health nurses, environmental health specialists, Laboratory Scientists, Stores Officers, drivers, and human resource officers, general workers, plumbers and other skill sets.
Defined as a public health emergency and of public interest in journalism parlance, it is deemed 'the greatest good for the greatest number' to end cholera hence attracting journalists from public, private and community settings to continuously update the nation.
With 1,113 in admission countrywide, 17 deaths in the last 24hours and 669 discharges by Wednesday afternoon, there seems to be significant progress to end the disease but the call to 'close the tap' in communities, is louder today.

Rhoda Edward Mkandawire writes... So I and my daughter witnessed a woman being b£aten m£rcilessly from the back of this Toyota Runx. No matter how we begged the driver to stop the car, he ignored us. The driver kept going and going, he assured that he was cruising to Manda Hill Police but then turned unto Rhodespark towards Bwinjimfume Road. There was a Police van but it also just drove away. We tried RATSA Toll Free several times but calls went unanswered. That's the video my passenger daughter took, Ask RATSA, The Police should find this man and produce the w0man in this vehicle ALIVE. The man b£ating her had a beard. The w0man was crying and shouting and hitting the window in desperation. It could be anything... k!dnap or whatever but it's bad Social media is powerful... see driver's name and mobile number 🦾💪💪💪 Zambia Police Service Ask RTSA
