Too many aircraft accident in the last two or three weeks. This should be the third if I’m not mistaken. What the fvck is going on? NCAA, FAAN, NSIB and the aviation ministry should immediately carry out a comprehensive investigation of all the commercial aircraft in the country and put in all the necessary safety measures. They should not wait till the occurrence of a fatal accident before taking action.

You forget this is Nigeria they don’t care 🤷‍♀️

Thank Goodness no life was lost.

Flight during this period, ko jo, the planes are always over stretched same as Pilots
keep playing! Until the crashes begin. No common sense (because na corn full your brain) to attribute these irregularities to a charlatan aviation minister who was appointed by a criminal president who favours blind loyalty over competence.

Some dude who's currently in DSS detention centre once referred to Nigeria as a ZOO. Interestingly, the govt is working assiduously to prove him right.

I used Valuejet for the first time last weekend flying with their Bombardier CRJ 900. And for the first time I wasn't comfortable with the landing and braking of this particular CRJ 900 that we used. I don't know if it it the same aircraft involved in this incident. Took quite a bit of struggle to bring it to a stop within the limits. Bringing an aircraft to a stop involves a combination of brakes, increased wing drag and engine thrust reversing. Any malfunctioning of these components can lead to incidents like this. But the airlines would typically want to push to blame to other things that wouldn't indict them.

Bombardier planes have excellent performance. However, it should be emphasized that the safety of any specific flight or aircraft depends on several factors, including the airline's maintenance practices, the competence of the flight crew, and the condition of the aircraft itself.

These must be properly reviewed most especially with this kind of incident

Algae

FAAN will not want to be indicted. They will counter Valuejet position as incorrect. Accepting that presence of Algae caused the skidding is indicting themselves of negligence in the maintenance of the runway. FAAN will rather blame it on the Pilot's error except if both FAAN and Valuejet reaches a "compromise " to both blame it on the "weather". Nobody can speak for the "weather", so it should rightly be the "fall" guy here in this incidence.

You are right. Throughout buhari's tenure, I don't think there was any record of such.

There were lots of records.

I can remember that if Airpeace with their B737 and Arik air

In this particular incident, did you read where it says "algae" on the taxi way?.

That's not an operator's responsibility, but the airport authority's.

That said, doing anything in Nigeria will continue to remain risky because the country's institutions are very weak.

It’s only a matter of time…but as in the anthem of Nigerians “it’ll not happen in Jesus’ Name”.

Don’t do the needful, but try to blackmail Jesus

Even if disaster eventually happens they will still assure the next set of passengers safety without doing the needful. Similar thing happened in Abuja few days ago, now this one. They may not be so lucky when when the 3rd one happens. We can keep relying on luck when we neglect the fundamental issues.
