A 🇺🇸 U.S military jet crashed into the White Sands National Park near Holloman Air Force Base outside of Alamogordo on Tuesday.

According to Holloman Air Force Base officials, an F-16 fighter jet went down near White Sands National Park.

Officials say the pilot successfully ejected from the plane and was taken to a hospital for medical care.

The F-16 was assigned to the 49th Wing at the base.

Base officials say the public should avoid the area to prevent possible exposure to hazardous chemicals on the aircraft. The pilot has been released from the hospital.

White Sands National Park is open, but some areas may be closed to the public due to the emergency response.

Just obsessed with their inferior military technology.

Expensive junk of a plane.

Because of fellow brainwashed ones who will say it can't happen in a sane country.

If 2 planes fall in Nigeria within a month, remember what you will all say:

- Amakas: It can only happen in 9giria
- Uches: Nigeria is finished
- Okoro: The pilot was an incompetent Fulani
- Amadis: Nigeria is a zoo
- Obi: The plane was made in 1704 and unserviceable.
Eze: It is as a result of brown roof
- Eze: We

It is you that should think without bias. If you are rational, you should have known that Putin and Russia are no saints, they are as bad as the US and west. You should have known that Russia is also seeking to dominate like the US. You should have known that Russia is also looking out for it's own selfish interest like all world powers do.

Every bad thing you have against the west is also applicable to Russia. US and its allies invade countries for their selfish interests, Russia does the same. Since 2000, US has invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, Russia has invaded Georgia and Ukraine. Russia has been sponsoring breakaway rebels in Georgia, Maldova, Ukraine etc to declare kangaroo independence yet Putin is your Angel and you wipe away his sins.

All world powers are bad players. But at least in the west, no leader is "god", they can be challenged and removed by the people unlike your Angelic country Russia. In the west, Opposition is strong putting check on government to behave themselves. In the west, Oposition has power, media has power, legislators have power, courts have power, civil society have power the people have power, it is never a one man show.

Putin came to power in 1999 when Bill Clinton and Obasanjo was in power. He has succeeded in making Russia a one man country where he is "god". He has changed Russia constitution 3 times since 1999, the last one being last year to give himself another 12 years in power. Russians can't talk, if you talk, you chop poison, fall from high rise, rot in jail if you are lucky or your plane gets shot down.

Do you know how many Putin's opposition and critics Saint Putin and his gang have eliminated since 1999 by poisoning and throwing them down from high rise buildings?

Will you be happy if Nigeria adopt the Russian model? Tell yourself the truth for once.
As we speak, Russians can't call Ukraine war a war publicly, they passed a law criminalizing calling it war. Imagine a government making it a crime to judge for yourself how you see things. Russians no longer have independence of thought, they have to be told what and how to think by force because one man cannot afford to be criticized. I just hope this Saint Putin Russian model nonsense is not what you guys are wishing for Nigeria to become. God forbid!
By the way, I'll take Tinubu and Nigeria over Putin and Russia, you can put your money where your mouth is by relocating to Moscow and not living in the freedom loving west and still talking nonsense. Mtshewwwww

Where did you get this ? I thought it has been established that the passenger plane was brought down by Ukrainian separatist?

Zahra29:


Well said....people painting Russia as the victim is laughable. The US isn't innocent/perfect sure, no country is. But we're talking about a "man" who was behind the shooting down of a full passenger plane, killing 300 innocent civilians. A "man" whose political opponents meet untimely deaths both in Russia and overseas...anyone remember Livitneko who was poisoned and killed in a UK hospital in 2006....and attempted murders of other russian nationals a few years ago in Salisbury....on and on it goes, but somehow he's the aggrieved party ....it's true that some people love a dictator

toughest007:


That's the effect of consuming many years of western propaganda.

Let's learn to think objectively and rationally without bias and say things as they really are.

wallg123:
would I be right to say prosecutors are pointing finger to Ukrainians as the primary sponsor of the terrorist attack on innocent concerts goers in Moscow few weeks back ?….. If you can provide the report then I’ll provide you a report which exclusively points to Ukrainian separatists using western supplied surface to air missile to bring down that plane. Just as the blew up Nora stream 1&2 with the help of the US.…

Zahra29:


This is the plane that was shot down in 2014, prosecutors said there was evidence that Putin provided heavy weaponry to Moscow-backed separatists.

Someone I know did the assylum thing in 2015, or less, I can't remember.
She succeeded.
If you read comments, we are saying that these days, it's hardly obtainable.
Many are littered on streets of Canada.

I won't advise my person to go through that route, except for USA.

Advision:


This is not propaganda.

Even days to the invasion, Putin was openly denying it and claiming it was just a training exercise on the borders of Ukraine, so putin denying they will invade Poland is not evidence they would not if they have the chance.

Putin has annexed 25% of Georgia also, is it also because they seek to join NATO?

Reality is putin has been trying to recreate the soviet union by annexing countries around it , it has been annexing bits and pieces of ukraine since 2014.

It is sheer ignorance to think NATO is the reason putin is invading ukraine.

Travellers in Nigeria may soon benefit from lower airfares following the drop in the price of Jet A1, the fuel used by airlines.

As reported by the PUNCH, the Dangote Petroleum Refinery announced on Tuesday a further price cut for diesel and aviation fuel, with the new rates set at N940 and N980 per litre, respectively.

This reduction has sparked hopes among airline representatives, travel agency leaders, and frequent travellers for a potential decrease in airfares.

The President of the Association of Foreign Airlines and Representative in Nigeria, Kingsley Nwokoma, highlighted the importance of aviation fuel in determining ticket prices.

“Normally, airfares would drop because aviation fuel is a big component. When you put all the financial components together that make up your ticket, it’s a very significant factor,” he said.

Nwokoma noted that the reduction might be linked to the presence of Dangote refinery and stressed the need for a holistic approach to understanding its impact on ticket prices.

“If truly there is a reduction in the price of Jet A1, then ticket prices must come down because Jet A1 is a major component in operational costs and the cost of tickets.”

United Nigeria Airlines spokesperson, Achilleus Uchegbu, shared similar sentiments, stating that everyone expects airfares to drop with the reduction in aviation fuel prices. “Although I do not know how soon the price drop will happen, we are hopeful,” he said.

Also speaking with the PUNCH, the President of The National Association of Nigeria Travel Agencies, Susan Akporiaye, pointed out the potential benefits of lower airfares.


“The expectation is for the fares to drop, and it will result in more people travelling, which gives my members more tickets to issue, increasing income,” she said.

Frequent air traveller and CEO of Prestige Pharmacy, Sandra Ebele, welcomed the news, noting the positive impact it could have on businesses and passenger affordability.

“As a frequent air traveller, I’m thrilled to hear about the drop in aviation fuel prices from N1,400 to N980. This should lead to lower operating costs for airlines, which could translate into more affordable ticket prices for passengers and business owners like me, which will, in turn, affect my business,” she said.

However, Ebele cautioned that reduced fuel costs might not immediately result in lower ticket prices due to other factors like demand, competition, and operational expenses.

Another frequent traveller, Ifeanyi Samuel, expressed a similar perspective, emphasizing the complexities of airline operations.


However, he is optimistic about the potential positive effect it may have throughout the industry.

“It might even inspire airlines to add new routes or increase the frequency of existing ones, which would offer greater flexibility for my business travel need.”

“Also, I’d like to add that at least I get to save more from the money I should have budgeted for a plane ticket anytime I have a business appointment,” he said

OMEGA009:
Pilot inside plane noticed fire alarm, Fire fighter on on the ground outside the plane noticed smoke coming from the engine compartment but Airline officials who were probably at home when it occurred are saying it was a false notification? Flying in Nigerian airspace is trusting solely in GOD. Those trying to make this a tribal affair most probably, haven’t ever seen an airport.

immortalcrown:
Safety first. The landing is a demonstration of professionalism. A delayed or cancelled flight is better than a plane crash.
So, an aeroplane can give such a false alarm?
