"When we landed, we had to wait for medical personnel who took forever to come to the plane. We have no value for human life in this country and

therefore are never prepared for emergencies. Having survived a plane with major technical issues, surviving the Almighty Nigerian attitude seemed a bigger threat. May God heal this country. We were housed in a hotel near the airport,"

U de mad... U refused to condemn the US Airlines that's using old faulty flight to convey una... Because, na US get am abi?.... But u are quick to point out irregularities in 9ja? If na one of 9ja flights now, all of una no go let us hear word again.

Una de mad

Imagine the fear of knowing you are to or may die in a plane crash....such situations can be life changing if you survive.

They couldn't have lost flight controls and Navigation, I will wait for the NCAA report and will find out what happened, I suspect they hit a bad turbulence and because people were injured from it they had to make an emergency return
Yeah.... Lossing flight control na instant crash... Talk less of navigation.... And yet the plan made a turn from Abidjan to Ghana and back to Nigeria..... The plane for off for Ghana is it was lost control

The plane that landed 3 days back and is returning.... Sometimes una just like to be lazy in everything you do..... Did you researchhuh The plane that have been making trips all last year till this year.... Boeing no doubt have issue but their are certain version of it with technical faults... In which they don't operate here in Africa

Evidently you've never flown before.

Flying over the ocean means cruising altitude; the safest part of air travel.

Don't mind them.787 is one of boeings latest aircraft with very advanced tech.Thatd not quite planr that can just crash.Super reliable. Transatlantic workhosrse.Even if there's technical issue they can always turn back

based on what was said "they lost their tools", 787 uses a glass cockpit.

You dont turn back because of turbulence, turbulence is normal. It is either malfunctioning flight sensors or loss of flight controls. again based on the comment "we lost our tools" it suggest they lost flight controls (hence the turbulence like conditions) and it later came back (which is why they were able to return to Lagos) suggesting failure of the electronic flight control system somewhere. it is a fly by wire airplane with no manual controls though it is supposed to have redundancy.

Furthermore, to the best of my knowledge, though possible, turbulence is not common on that flight route as you can see below, they only got as a far as Ivory coast.
You are not talking to na aviation novice oo..I feed off this field please , most planes use digital cluster now , you won't see any that use analogue especially on international flight..of a turbulence happens and passengers get injured the have to make an emergency landing ASAP ....there is no scenario where the will lose flight controls and the passengers will get injured .. the only thing that will make you lose flight controls on 787 is if you lose engine power or hydraulics and even at that you will extend your emergency turbine and continue flight controls and avionics

The plane is very advanced .How can a 787 just lose flight controls?Those planes are reliable without a single history of a crash

my friend you are talking absolute nonsense.

1) i already said they wont turn back because of turbulence uless the plane was damaged or there were injuries....cant you read?
2) you are wrong regarding the bold statement, there are numerous examples. Infact if you lose flight controls and you do not regain it, you will be lucky to say you were injured.
3) you are also wrong regardiing the 2nd bold part and if you read what you wrote you are contradicting yourself. Loss of Engine power does not mean losss of flight controls because you have the emergency turbines and you can glide.
4: depending on altitude, the worst thing that can happen in a flight is not loss of engines, but loss of flight controls. Loss of flight controls means simply that, you have no control of the plane.

there are numerous examples where planes have behaved erratically die to malfunctioning sensors etc, which is why I said this is a sysmptom of either malfunctioning sensors or temporary losss of flight controls.

We are both speculating but your suggestion of turbulence is total garbage based on the fact that the pilots temporarily lost their tools...what other tools are they refering to? common sense will tell you that there wasa glitch somewhere and the plane was temporarily uncontrollable and it was restored hence their ability to fly back to Nigeria.

Nothing to do with turbulence.

Baba, for the first five years I was flying over the Atlantic, I go always sit and balance for the airport any airport I Dey, take enough Vodka, chop well, set my alarm. By the time plane takes off, I don sleep, when I go wake up, na 15minutes to landing. But age don take am now. Anything wey wan come, we go follow see am. I remember one time I was coming back from Bogotá and there was turbulence, everyone was screaming and praying and the guy beside me was like what are you quite? I was like please what do you want me to do? The guy just quietly sat and joined me looking until we gained balance.

And did it crash? advanced and so what, computer no dey fail? Every advanced system is a computer program. A computer program is only as good as the possible scenarios you have envisaged. There are always scenarios that weren’t envisaged that is why you have software upgrades. Because a plane did not crash does not mean it hasn’t had incidents during flight!

Check the aviation incident database there have been over 312 incidents involving the 787. This will make it 313 and it is not the first time a 787 has suddenly plunged injuring people…..assuming people were injured.

Can you imagine she believed that medical personnel not coming inside the plane on time was a bigger emergency than their plane almost crashing, because na oyinbo plane. Some of our people are sick in the head.
