Tragedy in Lagos State,Nigeria

Tragedy struck in Lagos on Sunday,4th June when an airplane carrying 153 passengers crashed into a two-storey Residential Building. It is verified that the airplane belonged to Dana Airline and its pilot was an American man.The pilot before the crash reported an engine problem and it is confirmed that all 153 passengers died.Since it crashed into a Residential Building,it is also believed that no fewer than 10 people lost their lives in the buidilng,though the actual number of casualties are not accurate at this time as many are still feared dead. The Dana airplane was travelling from Abuja to Lagos and was on its final approach when the crash happened. We pray that the souls of the departed rest in Peace. This is not the First time we are experiencing this in Nigeria,the first major Plane crash took place on the 20th of Nov 1969 when a Govt owned VC-10 Aircraft flying in from London crashed as it was about to land at the Ikeja Airpot. All 87 passengers and crew died.Since then Nigeria has experienced 48 other Air crashes excluding that of Sunday. We cant forget the Bellview Airline 210 and Sosoliso Airline 1145 crash and most recently the helicopter crash that was transporting our Police officers. We ask the Aviation Authorities in our country to please do their possible best to protect the lives of our citizens.Let them scutinize all our aircrafts and those that are old and unfit should be banned from flying instead of being managed.Proper maintenance should be carried out always before and after each flight.Well thats my own lame way,they know better ways, as long as the fastest means of transportation in Nigeria is safe for its citizens. Once again may all the souls of the Departed rest in Peace. God Bless Nigeria.........
