Another melodramatic news report:
SAA confirmed in a statement that there was no correlation between the door incident and the technical issue in the cockpit. The airline also said there was no fire in the cockpit as reported on social media.
It added that the plane was still on the ground in Accra as technicians were still determining the cause of the cockpit issue.
