passenger planes to be careful of the routes they take over such volatile areas.
"I am seeing a full load of passengers crash again," he declared.
On Saturday 31st October 2015 , a Russian jet tragically
crashed while flying across the Sinai peninsula in Egypt
en-route to St Petersburg , killing
all 224 on board. "We pray for all those involved in this tragic incident,
that God would comfort and strengthen them in this difficult time," the

prediction was published in September 2014 on several online news sites within Africa
where he has an especially large following.
