Nigeria: Dana Aircraft Crash - Eyewitnesses Report One Survivor
By Kayode Ekundayo, 3 June 2012

Lagos — Eyewitnesses have told Daily Trust that a young girl was pulled out of the wreckage of the Dana aircraft that crashed in Lagos alive.

A commercial aircraft belonging to Dana Air heading to Abuja on a local flight crashed in densely populated residential area in the Iju/Shaga area of Lagos less than five minutes from Murtala Mohammed International Airport Lagos.

Several eyewitnesses, including a rescue worker, confirmed the story of the young survivor. Though her nationality and other details about her are not yet known, the eye witnesses said she was white. She was also said to have been badly wounded and was immediately rushed off for medical attention.

Initial reports quoting the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority said it was unlikely any of the 153 passengers on board had survived the crash. There are also believed to be some casualties on the ground. The two-storey building that the plane crashed into reportedly accommodates a church.

Good news if it's true!!!

A little light in the tunnel. Please may she be safe.

what different does that make. One can only be happy for the girl but 152/153 is still the same thing to me.

She was pulled out of one of the affected buildings. No one in that flight survived.

This is about the most idiotic,stup1d,f00lish and senseless thing I've read on this forum in a long while,jeez don't make people angry this morning.

You are pathetically insane!!!! Stop your bloody bible quotation you moronic church errand boy!!! 153 people sinned and the only thing your God could do was to smash them with a plane crash! He couldn't be that heartless you belligerent goat!!!

It's appalling how Nigerians- known to be snobbish,and pretentious have self-abased themselves to be religion alarmists and propagandists. You blame your failure on God. You extol God because of your success. You're branding your God a selfish, partial,partisan entity by thanking him for saving you and not others- you relentless he-goat!!!!

What kind of useless country is this? What is wrong with our leaders? How could there have been no rescue operations even in 30mins? And here we are talking about 3hrs downtime. The crash occurred right in the heart of the city and rescue operation should had arrived within 20mins at most. I just wish at least 100 of those killed were federal executive members, senators/reps and governors, I think only then will these people understand the consequences of an ineffective and corrupt government. I have no doubt that had there been fire and emergency stations located within certain radius of every community in our cities, most of the crash victims would had been rescued alive.

This country needs massive emergency overhaul: building of fire stations in every communities, building of at least 2 world class medical centers in every geopolitical zones in the country. Jonathan do these with yourself in mind just in case you get ill, you can be easily treated in these world class facilities.
I know your plan is the fly abroad for treatment like your predecessor right? Foolish and useless leaders.

wonderful
