Anything that travels by air needs proper maintenance. There should be an engine check before a plane, fight jets, or a helicopter takes off.

The pilot did well by landing 100 meters away from the residential area. It's a good thing there were no ground casualties.

RIP to those onboard.

remember the pilot was a Nigerian pilot and not chesley sullenberger who landed a big, full aeroplane on the river,when he knew the rate of descent wouldn't make it possible to get to the closest airport after both engines failed. I still remember his communication with ground, very calm, confident, when he requested coastguard to move to River Hudson with 155 Passengers. Just imagine such incident happened on Nigeria and plane flown by a Nigerian pilot
Why are we always condemning our own in this country? Who says a Nigerian pilot can't do the same?
The military pilot of the crashed plane should be given accolades for moving the plane off human populated area, given that it is a densely populated area.
We would have had more casualties.

And thirdly, he himself is not sure if he will rest in peace when he dies. People with his kind of mentality don't rest in peace.

And in your mind there have never been a plane flown by an oyinbo pilot that crashed due to pilot error, they are perfect human beings that never make mistakes.

And it is obvious you can't rest in peace when you die. People with your kind of sick mentality don't rest in peace. Their spirit wonders upandan the earth for not making heaven.

Stop the drug use. It's telling on your mental reasoning.

You see the aircraft exploded yourself it doesn't take long for an aircraft to explode after it crashlanded like that, plane is not a vehicle that you can easily jump out of it in an accident

DISGRACEFUL, DISGUSTING AND DESPICABLE COMMENTS...
You lot clearly weren’t well-raised, but hopefully you’d teach your kids that sometimes silence is a more powerful ‘statement’!

Very true. Also as Abuja is a planned city, why did they not think of ways to put soft landing space in a particular area in case of emergency. They knew hundreds of planes will begin to take off from the airport daily.

But no only RUGA and Hisbah consign dem. Sighs...

DuBLINGreenb:
Wow so they were basically roasted alive? What a way to go.
This news ‘story’ is UNLIKELY...

The eyewitness accounts on TV all indicated explosion upon ground impact.
If there were people near the plane when it exploded, there would have been more casualties.

Nigerian Pilots are among the best in the world. Go and check from 1970's.

The best landing I have EVER got is from Nigeria Pilot just 5 years ago.

Nigerians are too emotional,if you wish them rest in peace does that mean they will rest in peace, and if you don't wish them to rest in peace does that mean they wouldn't rest in peace? I only pity there family because Nigeria government will never do anything to make their life better by then they will know the difference

In other words lives could have been saved if the response was quicker.

The airforce will now start looking for these witnesses to harass and cow them to silence
Re: Witness: Why We Didn’t Rescue Victims Of Abuja Air Crash by Nobody: 9:15am On Feb 22, 2021
My worry is that were there parachute in that plane? Believed that could have saved them from crashing with the plane

Why is it that plane can't crash without burning?..
Because they carry so much highly-inflammable aviation fuel...

majamajic:
Fuel was still intact

The pilot should have started dumping out fuel Immediately before returning back to the airport , from the result it shows he came back with all the takeoff fuel
Given the brevity of its flight, even if the pilot was dumping fuel there would still be a substantial amount left in the tank.

May the souls of the departed rest in perfect peace.


Amen to your prayers.
God bless you for your kind words.
Stop praying for the dead.
The animals you have slaughtered are been prayed for by the living soon you'll see something.

Where did you read that?

I kept on wondering how come we can't rescue them alive. It took fire fighters a whole 30 minutes to get there, pathetic. What's the use of fire fighters going there when they were already roasted.

Mind you the crash site is just close to the runway.

Painful, things that shouldn't cause death always cause death in Nigeria
