afrobaby: 20 minutes, why didnt the pilot open d door or even window for passengers to jump out since it was already on a building, why didnt the residents of the building run, oh my God, what a country we are

mai gaskiya: my dear aircraft no be keke o

uhonmora: This is a senseless eyewitness report.

How can they say they were using satchet water to put out fire from an airplane?

Where in the world does this happen?

toyemz: @poster
what about the people(residents) who just stood taking pictures and those who just 'looked on' with the intent to loot?
what happened to the spirit of being thy brother's keeper?

BBDelta:

What about those who went in immediately the plane crashed for rescue and ended up been dead when it exploded 20 mins later according to this writeup. Bottom line is if you are not trained for an emergency situation you don get involved out of emotions and sentiments, else your pic will just end up with an RIP fo[/b]r [b]carelessness.

GAR3TH: The fire fighters and first responders did not arrive there in time because:

1 - Massive crowds gathered and blocked streets for miles / Nigerians not having etiquette in situations like these

2 - The streets in that area are narrow and hard to navigate [most likely cause by illegal / close construction of homes]

3 - Lack of quantity of equipment and personnel / lack of training

tryoliviame: funny story line indeed,(1),you and ur wife saw the plane moving around in random directions (2)you both stood up and traced were it eventually landed (3)u guys used sachets of pure water to put off the fire from cockpit and finally,you heard loud explosion after 20 minutes.’ my friend clap hand for yourself mumu! so u had all this time and common sense did not tell u to escalate, until loud explosion right? u had enough time to have saved a soul but i guess u guys were busy enjoying the whole drama,now the reverse is the case.

I guess u just read my response without reading the initial post, do read the initial post first and then read mine before responding. Also, windows are not meant to be opened doesnt mean it can't be opened,

(Reason people open windows in airplane) Improved visibility might be helpful in case of an emergency. Specifically, the occupants must be able to see outside to assess if it is safe to open the emergency exits. This is especially important in emergencies that involve water landings (if an exit is below the water line) or in cases of an external fire, where the act of opening an exit will expose the occupants to the fire.

Abeg, get information and dont just respond without reading between lines, it isnt funny

Josh316:

Jeez! Common sense is not common! so becasue the report says windows are to be 'opened' during take off and landing means they can be opened like a car window or what? FYI, these windows are FIXED and cannot be opened. What the report is talking about is the flap that shades the passenger from the sun, like a visor. the windows are double-sealed and thick!! even the cockpit window is almost amoured!!!

salakobaba: IF help had come early, the over140 persons, who died in the Dana commercial air plane crash at Iju, Lagos, yesterday might have saved, residents have said.
According to them, the aircraft did not explode immediately it crashed. It exploded after about20 minutes.
An eyewitness said the incident happened between 3pm and 4pm.
Narrating how the crash happened, an eyewitness, who claimed anonymity noted that the aircraft was seen swinging before it eventually landed ona newly constructed storey building.
‘’I was here with my wife and other people when we saw the plane moving around in random directions. Initially wewere confused, but when it was getting usually close to the rooftop of the houses around, we stood up and traced were it eventually landed,’’ he noted.
Continuing, the eyewitness said, ‘’When we go to the scene, we saw the plane on the building and it did not explode upon landing. The only fire from the aircraft was from the cockpit which was not much. It was only ten of us that first got to the scene. That little fire would have been quenchable if there was immediate emergency responsefrom fire fighters. Wewere even using sachets of pure water to put off the fire before we heard loud explosion after 20 minutes.’’
It was further gathered that the absence of emergency responsefrom concerned authorities, promptedone of the eyewitnesses at the scene to call the Chairperson of Local the Government, whoinformed the Lagos State Government.
‘’When we discovered that emergency rescue service was not on sight, my wife had to call the chairperson of the local government, who informed Fashola’s people. It was that call that altered the authorities. But if therescue service had arrived on time, theywould have been saved because therewas no fire when theplane landed on the buildings. The pilot ofthe aircraft was verybrave because we noticed it from the way the aircraft was swinging before it crashed,’’ another eye said.
What could have turned into another tragedy, occurred when the men of the Nigerian Army started dispersing sympathisers at the scene when they arrived. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/06/delayed-rescue-operation-wasted-lives-residents/

Coolturbo: I don't belive this story. If the planed was on ground for 20mins before it exploded,what happned to the emergency exits in the aircraft, and some ppl were saying that heard pple shouting "help,help" from the aircraft. Planes are airtight,which no sound could be heard from it. It's just sad. May their souls rest in peace.
