it will take a long time for my mind to recover from this, all through the day today, i was just think about Pastor Akin of the House of Refuge and many other persons on the crash flight. It is really terrible. |

[size=18pt]Nice Write up Op i was at the scene today and tears fell off my eyes according to what people who live around that hood some said at first when people noticed there was something wrong with the plane, they started running after it as it goes Up Down swing left and right and that a point the plane could have landed in an Open Field but some people were doing marriage ceremony and the plane had to fly up again and started swinging both left and right 2min after that they all notice a fluid started dropping like rain and they sensed that the pilot discharged the fuel because he knew it was going to crash and that could blow up a whole community and after the fluid stopped they felt the vibration on the ground and that was the end. I was very depressed when i heard it while some even captured [/size] |

Chocho4real: lord have mercy.... i heard the airspace was shut down as usually when the useless sets of my prominent so called leaders are flying, no airplane fly on air with them. Exactly the reason why I asked the questions that I asked. There's a rumour going round that the plane might have made it to the airport but for the shutting down of the airspace for about 2hrs. So it had to hover in the air to wait for a go-ahead to land. If this is anything close to being the truth, hmmm! |

Re: Eye-Witness Account Of DANA Plane Crash: Like A Movie by Beaf: 10:56pm On Jun 05, 2012 |
gossips: The airspace wasn't shut down. Its just a very evil rumour started by Buhari and El-Rufai people to make political gain from the tragedy. The plane given emergency clearance to land as soon as the pilot called in distress, unfortunately they crashed before they could get to the airport. A truly horrible story. May their souls rest in peace. I doff my hat to the pilot who from eyewitness accounts, seems to have done everything possible to bring the plane down away from crowded areas. |

Can anybody please provide the exact departure time of the said dana air plane from abuja in order to confirm or dispell the recent rumour that the airspace was on lockdown for 2 hours for the first lady. If according to the eye witness ( the op) it happened around 3:56pm, it suffice to say the plane left Abuja at 3:00pm thereabout. Who can confirm that that was the actual time of departure or the plane was left to be hovering for over two hours. |

Beaf: Thank you for the response but I heard it for the second time today from my younger sis whose friend works with the Hazard Control Unit of the airport. Infact, my younger sis just finished her time wf same unit few weeks ago and I can tell you that this rumour made more sense when it got to me from a reliable source. |

I cant imagine the last five minute of the occupant of the Plane. I told myself what is the usefulness of the normal safety routine they tell us when we are seated in the plane when you can not use it when you need it. The plane crash landed on a building which is not too high for the occupant of the plane to jump out.while using the oxygen provided in the aircraft.BUT THE DOOR IS SHUT, NO WAY OUT.Burning to death, cant do anything.Nowhere to run to, nowhere! It is better imagined than to experience it, cos you wont live to tell the story. What A Sad way to die. 1 Like |

Lord. The sight of a passenger airplane dangling so low in such a densely populated residential area would freak me out for sure. This tragedy is unbelievable. |

Andro Blaze: Of course I understand what he said he saw. What I mean is that when you read the heading you expect facts not news. The bulk of what he relates are post impact. Really not helpful except to those who are in charge of disaster management not aviation. |

McDonnell Douglas has a very dark history...Google the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 series and you 'll find out a gory history of accidents resulting from its cargo door opening outwards and getting blown-off when air borne as a result of cabin pressure... I'll rather do Abuja or Lagos by road, chau enough Pounded yam with Bush-meat at Okene, than fly in an MD... |

This is so surreal. The accident, the circumstances, the occasion. I'm Really Sad . I hope the investigation will reveal what went wrong, so that another tragedy of this type will be avoided. It is incredible something like this can happen in a single moment. It should remind us how fragile our lives are and how suddenly everything may end.My thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost their lives, and their loved ones |
Re: Eye-Witness Account Of DANA Plane Crash: Like A Movie by Nobody: 11:34pm On Jun 05, 2012 |
By the way, how does one react or behave in the final moments when it becomes certain that death is imminent? I mean, since this crash happened, I have been unable to stop visualising the last minute or two inside the ill-fated aircraft, when it was hovering awkwardly and spiralling around the buildings. Did the passengers bond together to say thier final prayers? Were they making frantic and futile attempts to escape, did they recoil in their seats soaked in tears of despair? Did the business class passengers rush out into the economy class cabin in a show of death-bound solidarity? Indeed, did some of the passengers and crew break into the cockpit to see what the pilot was up to? Mary, mother of Jesus. I tell you, the chaotic scenes in that plane in the final moments is more heart-wrenching than words can ever describe. 1 Like |

pheesayor: Like a scene in a movie, the events of June 3rd 2012 is not one I can ever forget in a hurry. It was 3.56pm and everyone had formed clusters around available TV set in preparation to watch the Nigerian National Football team play their Namibian counterpart in Calabar, a home match for the Eagles. Then came a loud scream from the grocery shop across my house, it was the owner shouting “Ki le leyi?” in Yoruba which by interpretation is “what is this?” SMDH!!!!! |

Re: Eye-Witness Account Of DANA Plane Crash: Like A Movie by mecussey(m): 12:09am On Jun 06, 2012 |
Sad, but there is sth oyibo never do ooo to prevent fatal crashing. There should be a way to reduce the speed of plane at the point of crash with whatever that could oppose the motion. All planes has a propella that propels backwards to give thrust to the plane, why cant it propel foward at the point of crash? If that wont be easy, there is this parashoot that use to stop military planes instantly, why wont they deploy it at least to reduce the speed of the plane by 80% before crash landing. We Nigerians are not good at any one na, at least we could have tried it |
