The United States has stated its willingness to assist the Federal Government in the investigation of Sunday’s plane crash that killed 153 people in Lagos.

The U.S. in a statement by its Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, made available to the North America Correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria in New York, extended its condolences to those who lost family and loved ones in the crash.

``We stand with the people of Nigeria at this difficult time and we are prepared to assist the Nigerian Government in its investigation of this tragic accident,' 'NAN quoted Mrs. Clinton as saying in the statement on Tuesday.

The entire fleets of airplanes used by dana air was purchased from Alaska airline which is an american airline and the united state laws states that they should investigate any airplane that crashes if the original purchase was from an american airline. It would interest you to know that these airplanes were phased out by Alaska airlines in 2006 after 25 years in service due to hydraulic problems and they were purchased two years later by dana air in 2008.

I got these story from yahoo news.

In that case what are they investigating again? Since we already know that they sold us out dated planes/We bought outdated planes they should cut the BS. We dont need the drama they should just send the affected families some money

Better you keep quiet and be thought intelligent than to continue with these inane babbling.
Who is the 'we' here? Are you the Dana Air CEO? Does Dana Air belong to all Nigerians? What weed infested dream told you the aircraft was 'outdated'? You think an airplane is a Tokumbo Toyota Camry that becomes outdated after several years? Why is the US supposed to send any money to the affected families?

When Russian submarine sank in the ocean, na foreign divers help them retrieve am. Nobody is too proud to ask for help in determining the cause of the accident. luckily for us all, the people who will make this decision will jump at the chance for expert help instead of listening to Grade-A m0r0ns like you and stagger.

LeoMax: Henceforth, no plane older than 10yrs should be allowed to fly in Nigeria Airspace.

Yes, exactly. Other countries (USA, UK, France, Germany etc) have airlines capable of MAINTAINING AND FLYING even 30+ years old planes, because they have the expertise, competence and dedication. However, lacking all these things, Nigeria should certainly ban all planes older than 10 years. So maybe, just maybe, passengers will have good luck to arrive safely to their destinations. Luck, and not trust in those responsible for the safety of flying.

LeoMax: Flying was risky from the days of of Wilbor Wreight, its never a perfect way to move, I see no reason why foreigners should own airlines in a sovereign nation. Its not just right, I cant remember if a Nigerian can own or manage airline in India. Its tyme we stop tribalism and give our government support to clean the system.

gator_666:

Absolutely true (and no, I am not being sarcastic here). But, there is a problem. Government itself has to be cleaned first, because it is the same government that gave owners of DANA the AOC (Airline Operator Certificate), allowing them to commence operations in Nigeria. Those from DANA should be jailed for a very loooong time. Kirikiri is a perfect place for such. But those that gave them the AOC and did not follow up afterwards should join them too.

Bontee:

It was a private transaction between both airlines and i think they do it in order to investigate their own airlines still running in their own airspace. If Alaska airlines has ten planes then sells three of them abroad and after three years one of them crashes then the USA has to investigate that incident and the remaining ones in their country to learn one or two things.
