On May 5, 2007, Kenya Airways Flight 408 plunged into the Atlantic Ocean shortly after takeoff from Douala, Cameroon. Of the 114 passengers and crew members on board, only one survived - Antoinette Njoki Mbogo. Cleansed The Tears is Antoinette's powerful and poignant memoir, recounting the harrowing events of that fateful day and her extraordinary journey of survival, healing, and hope.

A Fateful Journey

As a young flight attendant, Antoinette had always harbored dreams of soaring through the skies. On that fateful day, she boarded Flight 408 with a heart filled with excitement and anticipation. Little did she know that her life was about to be forever changed.

Shortly after takeoff, disaster struck. The plane suddenly lurched violently, and Antoinette felt herself being pulled into the depths of the ocean. Darkness enveloped her, and she feared the worst. But amidst the chaos and despair, a glimmer of hope appeared.

As Antoinette struggled to stay afloat, she realized she was not alone. A group of other survivors had managed to free themselves from the wreckage and were clinging to life. Together, they fought against the relentless currents and the encroaching darkness.

The Fight for Survival

The survivors faced unimaginable challenges. They were all injured, and their bodies were battered by the relentless waves. But their spirits remained unbroken. They clung to each other for support and encouragement, knowing that their only hope of survival lay in staying together.

As the hours turned into days, the survivors' hope began to dwindle. They were running out of food and water, and their bodies were reaching their limits. But they refused to give up. They knew that they had to fight for survival, not only for themselves but for their loved ones who were waiting for them back home.

Finally, after two and a half days, their prayers were answered. A search and rescue team spotted them and brought them to safety. Antoinette had survived the unimaginable. She had fought against all odds and emerged from the tragedy as a symbol of hope and resilience.

The Journey of Healing

After the crash, Antoinette's life was forever changed. She suffered from physical and emotional trauma, and it took her many years to come to terms with the loss of her colleagues and passengers.

But through it all, Antoinette's faith remained strong. She found solace in her family and friends, and she dedicated herself to helping others who had experienced trauma and loss. She became a motivational speaker and an advocate for survivors of aviation disasters.

In writing Cleansed The Tears, Antoinette has shared her story with the world in the hope of inspiring others who have faced adversity. Her memoir is a testament to the power of survival, resilience, and hope. It is a story that will touch your heart and stay with you long after you finish reading it.
