The turkish crew was talking to control, but since communications were non usual, the control was asking all the time to repeat messages. When the turkish asked to flash on and off the runway lights, the controller did not understand, and the Kenya repeated the message to the controller in a different manner. Never ever the control said to other traffics he had an emergency, so a lot of a/c were reporting positions, asking for level change etc...and then congesting the frequency; and the Kenya said to all traffics : please pay attention to turkish 1123 because he has some troubles, then some a/c stopped using the frequency.
I'm not from Kenya, I was in the area hearing everything, and I just wanted to thank that guy of kenya because he was great.
What else ?
