Op, I really feel sorry you had to go through that experience.
I fly often and understand ur plight.
However:
1. U can't be at 30000 (FL300) 5 mins after takeoff -very impossible, except u were in an F-16.
2. A lot of us Nigerians don't know wat a good weather is when flying is concerned. Ever heard of CAT? Clear air turbulence? Or have u ever been in an aircraft that dropped suddenly and climbed out almost immediately?

I don't work for dana, nor do I have a relative dat work for dem or they pay me, but I still fly them even after their crash. American Airlines, air france, kenya airways, and malaysian airlines are still flying.

From an aviators POV, shit happens, but we always pray it doesn't get to us.

Mind u, no pilot, engineer or cabin crew wants to die.

Sorry about the flight.

cant you atheist stop meddling in other people's believes?
No one is stopping you from believing in kumutu kumutai but i cannot credit God for saving my life and that of others??

do you know that planes have crashed out of smaller faults?
What if the second engine failed?

what if the trims seized?

so many things could have gone wrong BUT IT WAS JESUS THAT TOOK CONTROL OKAY!!!.
another person might have a different opinion but this is my opinion and u have to respect that beccause it does not offend your senses in anyway or manner!

I'm not an atheist you pollock.

I shared an opinion, get a grip.

God had nothing to do with it but pure airmanship skills.

Your types is why Nigeria is still firmly stuck in the Middle Ages.

I am going to relate my own story with the same Dana airplane, I did not check if it was the same flight but I was scared to hell seeing what I saw while on board.

It was a flight to Abuja with two of my colleagues, I sat in the middle right on the row where I could see the wing of the plane from the window. It was my colleague who sat on the window side that first called my attention to it. When we left Lagos the plane was very much OK and the wing was sturdy and firm as it glides through the pressure and air fogs in the cloud. However, getting close to Abuja and about like another 10 minutes to land, we noticed that a part of the wing was flapping as if it was going to fall while still in the air, I thought that was not normal. I continued to look at until we finally landed it really scary but I noticed most people were not worried even my other colleague on the extreme sit thought it was normal but I am sure that was a fault.

I suspect Dana Air has very old airplanes that might crash before they will take things seriously. I just hope the authorities so the needful before it is too late.

1) I disagree. Your a$$backwards types are the reasons why Nigeria takes 5 step forward and 3 backwards.

2) While that information is between my tax accountant and myself and is none of your business and doesn't even relate to this thread but yes I do pay tax. I pay both Nigerian adn USA taxes. The USA taxes are important because that is where the State Department gets money to give as handout to Nigeria.

3) I do, several actually.

4) On an occassional basis when necessary depending on the project. How that is related to this discussion on aircraft safety and your lame attempt to drag religion into it continues to befuddle me. I pity those that work for you. I say this in all seriousness even though I suspect that you only employ people in your mind grin

5) From you? grin grin grin that's was very rich.

Dont you ever say "thank God" for keeping you alive??
You know darn well if you dont eat or drink, you will die, you know darn well if you live reckless you will die.

Everybody has a role to play - the pilot, the flight instructor that trained the pilot, the co-pilot et al. but God is the chess master. That doesnt mean that credit wouldnt go to whom credit is due.
Planes have crashed as a result of simple cross wind landing.

Myles monroe's plane crashed simply because it struck a crane near the a ship yard during landing. The pilot flying the plane had years of experience flying that same route but on that day, his skills and experience failed him.

I am far from retrogressive and I believe everyone is entitled to their spiritual believes.
What baffles me is when people like you want to correct me as if my believes offend you or stops you from waking up!!

Got a friend who lost his dad in the Dana crash 2 years ago. If what the OP posted has got any truth, I think people need to boycott this Dana airways since they value money over life. What a disgraceful organisation.

I have no intention on correcting you, it is not my job, I am not your parent, pastor or teacher. But I am entitled to my opinion and as long as this is a free site you will hear my opinion regardless of how much it make you feel uncomfortable.

1) What does that have to do with this thread?

2) You will die regardless of what you do, safe or unsafe. The people that died during the Boko bombings. were they living recklessly or not eating? Where is there God then?

3) What does all this have to do with this thread? The pilots saved the flight when the engine went flat. Done deal.

4) Skills and experiences fails all the time. Accidents will always happen, it's unavoidable. Has nothing to do with God.

5) I'm glad that we agree on that, everyone is entitled to their opinion and values regardless on how ridiculous it comes across.

6) This is something that you'll just have to get a grip and deal with. It's not going away. Unless of course you lock yourself up in a vacuum.

Nope, God had nothing to do with it nor did Jonathan.

The Pilot should be saluted and congratulated.

Then Jesus said to them, "Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." And they were amazed at him - Mark 12:17 wink

Chai! I've not flown Dana before shaa, but having tried to book with aero for xmas, I got startled with the 28k price for a flight I normally get for 10k - 12k. Just decided to check on others to confirm if aero had totally gone mad but almost all had higher price; then their was Dana staring at me for 15,300!

Despite their record, I decided to book the flight and payed at once.

Chaii!!! With this kind of red flag! So bad that the arthur had to compare it with Lagos molue! Chaii!!!

Anyway, its good I saw the thread shaa.

Yes,there's serious issues but I don't think Nigerians have a monopoly in that regard.There's a reason why most air accidents happen in Africa,most airlines banned in Europe are african and if you think Nigeria is worse,you ain't seen air disasters in DRC.

The FG is still in talks with some investors on the possibility of setting up a private sector-run national carrier. The IPO would be around $1.2bn.

I don't think the OP wants to destroy the image of DANA this has nothing to do with that, if he has noticed something wrong please who is d right authority that we can talk to and let them check the air plane period.

Its not a wrong thing to check your car out if you notice any thing unusual so why should an air plane be different, let's not wait until people will die ohh. Please.

Does FANN have a Facebook page or email address, same goes for DANA its self so we can tell them this.
