Madam Linda as per your last line you are conversant with how scrap planes are evacuated? Me I don't know how o , so I can't fault NEMA towing it away. But I could be wrong maybe they're supposed to airlift it hehehehhe
ReplyDeleteThis just so so funny
DeletePIanes, either scrap or rescued, can be air-Iifted Iike NASA does spaceshuttIes or rescued pIanes, but I don't think there's anything wrong with Towing on ground. Its just our environment that make peopIe Iook Iike fooIs when they sight such... Its not the norm around here and not every nigerian has seen an airpIane that cIose taIkIess of boarding -- they onIy see it fIying. Dunno if there are poIicies on airpIane conveyance. American Wonder... Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡.̮Ơ̴̴͡ as peopIe fuII road. Hian! :)

ReplyDeleteWHAT IS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT A PLANE. NIGERIANS INCLUDING LINDA CAN BE SO LOCAL. SO BECAUSE IT IS A PLANE, WE SHOULD HAVE A SPECIAL WAY OF EVACUATING IT. I AM SURE THERE ARE PEOPLE ON THIS BLOG WHO BELIEVE THAT WHITE PEOPLE DON'T FART.
ReplyDeleteShaatap! U dissemble a scrap plane into parts when u wanna get rid of it. Stop sounding like a hater / kill joy! Muah
DeleteYour ignorance is astonishing.
DeleteCelebrity plane. See as people gathered for autographs and pictures. Down not out.

ReplyDeleteWHAT IS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT A PLANE. SOMETIMES HOW LOCAL YOU ARE CAN BE SEEN BY HOW UNNECESSARILY POLISHED YOU TRY TO BE.
ReplyDeleteThe plane must be more than one, the with crowd around is still having his tail while the one on the road has its tail cut off....abi e get accident for road
ReplyDeleteNah Nigeria now :)

ReplyDeleteIF IT WAS COVERED WITH TARPAULIN AS SHOULD BE, WE WOULDN'T HAVE THIS HALLABALOO...DECOMMISSIONED AIRCRAFT GET TOWED ALL THE TIME BY ROAD, RAIL OR AIR FOR SCRAP METAL VALUE.
ReplyDeletePS: The use of the word "evacuate" as used in this context in the article is simply embarrassing.
nigeria
ReplyDeleteLagos na wa..... Lol
ReplyDeleteonly in naija
ReplyDeleteNaija, our methods and approach to matters are always outstandingly different and comical.
ReplyDeleteEven the space shuttle 'discovery' was towed...so, I don't see anything wrong here....move on people, nothing to see here

ReplyDeleteNiaja l hail thee!
eddie~syfar 12;33pm and davies 12;34pm are you both really serious? that people shouldnt be suprised of seeing AEROplane on motorways? have you ever heard that planes are evacuated via motorways in your lifetime before? can they not dismember the planes at the airport and pack it off in pieces? is nigeria the only country that has planes? are you guys kidding me?you guys should not make a big fool of yourselves while thinking you are being posh....for your info it is a big suprise that planes are spotted on motorways?
ReplyDeletenot impressive at all. At least they should have used trampoline to cover it. Smh
ReplyDeleteLinda u are fond of not posting my comment ,pls post this. Wait let me ask ,is that a towing van or a trailer that is carrying it and where are they taking it to. This is not how the developed countries dispose scrap plane ,nigeria has a lot and along way to go.
ReplyDeleteWurahell? did the plane have to stop at the gas station? Nigerian elites are d dumbest ever!!!
ReplyDeleteMr Davies,The big deal is,IS that the right way to transport a scraped plane?Give us an answer Mr Davies.
ReplyDeleteI love that place mehn!!! Naija rugged to the core. The fuck???. Towing a plane on streets/roads made for motor vehicles???....una no easy for that place.
ReplyDeleteNawaoh
ReplyDeleteI went through the whole comments hoping to find out the proper way to evacuate planes...in order words nobody on this blog actually knows!! As it is, I don't understand what's wrong with this until I find out what is right..
ReplyDeleteLolz,cnt stop laffing..like criously I js imagine myself driving n wen I took a gland @ d side mirror,instead of seein a car or bike,I saw witchcraft,sorry aircraft,.....men,make I no lie,my type of person..hmm,I go js faint ni.
ReplyDeleteMay your case never become like that of an airplane that is towed by a car
ReplyDeleteWATS DIS ONE SAYING???? IS IT NORMAL FOR A PLANE TO BE ON THE GROUND, THINK!!!!
ReplyDeleteNawao !!!
ReplyDelete@ anon 11;51, u are very wrong dear.linda is right in what she wrote"no plane crash-landed in lagos."the rumour was that a plane crash-landed in lagos. @ Davies, im not very sure but i sincerely doubt if a plane should be evacuated like this. this is a road for chrissakes. not for planes remember? i dont think its proper though. but like i said ,im not sure
ReplyDeleteI saw dis,dis morning oo while going to work,men I was scared ooo until I realize it was towed.
ReplyDeleteLinda so u haven't see or heard of road plane. My dear naija is gradually developing. 3 gbosaaaa!! For naija abeg ,i no easy
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha... Gbafolorun Airlines! We get u der dead or alive. Lmao!
ReplyDeleteThis is sad.... *crying*
ReplyDeleteYes Linda, this is how to evacuate scrap planes. They cant fly or move any other way. Think about it, would you rather they were airlifted; thats even riskier. FYI i've seen an American movie where a scrap plane was evacuated this same way.
ReplyDeletemake one conductor just hang from the plane de shout "oshodi oshodi, wole!"
ReplyDeletethat would be the highpoint. hehehhehe
naija mehnnn... anything goes!
Wetin we no go see for this naija of us....Oshisko!
ReplyDelete*Olomu nla
Mr. Davies, it's a big deal. Should not be towed during the day. It caused so much traffic. People actually thought the plane crash landed. Pls think before you write. Common sense.
ReplyDeleteI vividly remember watching CNN as a plane was being towed along the streets of the USA in broad daylight to a museum! So there is nothing wrong with what NEMA did, save that they didn't inform the public beforehand!
DeleteI vividly remember watching CNN as a plane was being towed along the streets of the USA in broad daylight to a museum! So there is nothing wrong with what NEMA did, save that they didn't inform the public beforehand!
DeleteThis is the normal way of evacuating planes, Linda browse about it, do some research, earlier dis year a plane was towed thru the streets of the US, express ways are actually built to be able land small planes in times of war and emergencies, so there's nothing new here, just that people should have been informed, I guess they tot they would hv finished overnight but it took longer. Please let's not bemoan what shouldn't be bemoaned. :)
DeleteAirplanes are towed through streets everywhere...NASA even towed a space shuttle through LA.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/space-shuttle-endeavour-towed-through-1377193
Welcome 2 my country! Nothing is impossible
ReplyDeleteThis should not be making the news like this nah. The aircraft was actually being towed at night before it had a faulty tyre and was parked at the fuel station.
ReplyDeleteCant believe u all, linda u inclusive. Why should everything be a subject of ridicule. did the plane fall on its side and damage any lives and property. If those plane wrecks were left to continue to rot at the airport, u wud be the first to criticize. pls i know u know better linda, so stop helping these illiterates fuel their own stupidity. Let our agencies do their jobs how best they can with what ever resources they can muster.
ReplyDeleteDavids thank you. over 50 comments yet none could proffer a better means...aaarrrggghh!!! must you talk? some people thought of this method as crude as it may be...yet you are blaming them when you can't even proffer a better method.
ReplyDeleteanonymous 3:33pm thank you very much.
ReplyDeletepeople just expressing their stupidity....ok! quite understandable
THE TENDENCY TO ACT OVERLY "POLISHED" ALWAYS HAS THE OPPOSITE EFFECT OF MAKING YOU COME ACROSS AS "LOCAL", "VILLAGE" AND "ILLITERATE". WHEN YOU ARE USED TO SEEING AND FLYING AIRPLANES, THEY WILL NO LONGER BE A BIG DEAL.
ReplyDeleteOne can only see this in naija, naija for life
ReplyDeleteLinda these are two different aircrafts. Aircrafts being towed isn't a big deal, we don't have the facilities to airlift aircrafts.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW WHAT IS REIGNING IN NAIJA THESE DAYS IS QUARREL ON BLOGS AND SOCIAL MEDIA. PLEASE MY COMMENTS ARE JUST JOVIAL. NONE OF IT WAS INTENDED TO "BAD MOUTH" ANYONE.
ReplyDeleteOmo Nijeria Worst. This country is not going forward at all. Is this how to Tow a Scrap Plane?
ReplyDeleteABEG WETIN DEM TAKE DEY TOW AM? WHEELBARROW??
ReplyDeleteI SURE SAY SOME UPCOMING ARTIST GO DUN GO BOOK THE PLANE FOR VIDEO SHOOT

Abuja-bound passengers, crew, escape fire in plane
ReplyDeleteNational News Aug 3, 2009
ENUGU – A quick response by fire service personnel at the Akanu Ibiam Airport, Enugu, yesterday averted what could have resulted to a major air disaster in Enugu, as an Embraer 120 aircraft with 20 passengers on board caught fire shortly before take-off.
The turbo-prop aircraft, marked 5N-BLN and operated by Capital Airlines, was taxiing for take off at 2:05pm when a thick smoke was noticed from the right wing of the plane.
A witness told Vanguard that the smoke soon filled the entire plane forcing the passengers into a stampede as they all surged towards the exit point to escape from the raging fire.
The pilot, whose identity could not be immediately obtained, succeeded in opening the exit door from where the passengers and the crew members jumped down, with some sustaining minor injuries in the process.
A thick smoke was emitting from the burning aircraft engine on the right wing when fire service personnel at the airport quickly moved their fire tenders to the scene and succeeded in putting out the inferno in a few minutes.
Their quick response prevented the fire from spreading to other parts of the aircraft.
The affected plane was seen parked in front of the VIP lounge of the airport yesterday with the entire body soaked with water, but officials of the airline and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) refused to comment on the incident.
It was learnt that some of the lucky passengers returned to their homes after the incident, while others boarded Arik plane to continue their journey to Abuja few hours after the incident.
The development, however, attracted many sympathizers who made fruitless attempts to view the affected aircraft, but were prevented by airport securitymen.
The security personnel also denied newsmen access to the area, saying they were instructed not to allow people access to the aircraft.
The Airport Manager and the Public Relations Officer could not be reached as they were not present at the airport when the incident occurred.
Disaster Averted in Enugu as Aircraft Catches Fire
ReplyDelete08.03.2009
Twenty-eight passengers of an Embraer 120 aircraft, with registration number 5N BLN owned by Capital Airlines escaped death yesterday as the aircraft caught fire at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu as it prepared to take off.
The pilot made use of the fire extinguisher in the cockpit to put out the fire at the exhaust of the aircraft before he aborted the flight.
But in the confusion, two passengers were said to have sustained injuries as they probably struggled to get out of the aircraft. They were said to have been taken to the hospital for treatment.
In a press statement signed by the managing director of the airline, Mr. Amos Akpan, the flight was scheduled for Abuja by 1 pm and was cleared for takeoff and when the pilot started the engine, “the ground staff immediately signalled to the pilot to shut down the engines when they noticed unusual amount of smoke from the exhaust of the right engine”.
The passengers disembarked from the aircraft and their fares were refunded. The managing director directed that the aircraft should remain on ground until checks were carried out by the airline’s engineers.
According to the statement, “Capital Airlines yesterday cancelled its afternoon flight on the Enugu-Abuja route due to a precautionary measure when smoke was noticed at the exhaust.
“The Embraer 120, 5N BLN, 30-seater aircraft was scheduled for Enugu-Abuja at 1pm and was cleared for takeoff.
“When the pilot started the engine, the ground staff immediately signalled to the pilot to shut down the engines when they noticed unusual amount of smoke from the exhaust of the right engine.
“Passengers were disembarked and refunded their money.
“While we are sorry for the inconvenience it may have caused the passengers, we had to take the precautionary measure to cancel the flight for safety reasons.”
He added that appropriate authorities had been informed of the incident. The Director-General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Dr. Harold Demuren, confirmed the incident, saying that the smoke was noticed when the aircraft was still on the ground and everybody was evacuated safely, adding that such incident could occur once in a while.
“Thank God that it was still on the ground and everybody was evacuated safely,” the Director-General said.
Davies is making some sense, but knowing fully well the nature and attitude of typical Nigerian to a lesser situation (even those traveled and exposed) will wonder at the sight of such event, it would have prudent of them to find a better alternative or approach in disposing such.

ReplyDeleteMy people it's a scrap plane and it cant fly so towing it is just the best way, but wer things went wrong is towing it in broad day light and inside traffic and also leaving it by the side of the road.
NEMA shld consider an aeroplane junk yard pls.
