Saturday Tribune reports that the plane, scheduled for Ibadan from Abuja at 4:52p.m. was about to take off when it started emitting smoke from one of its engines.
One of the passengers who spoke with Saturday Tribune said the about 31 passengers of the plane were already seated before the incident.
“We first observed that engineers were frantically fiddling with the plane’s engine. Then we suddenly saw smoke. It is not funny at all. All of us, including a senator, rushed out of the plane. Continue...
“We were subsequently evacuated by airport officials. As I am speaking with you now (8:30p.m.), we are waiting for another plane from Ilorin, which we have been promised will take us to Ibadan. We thank God,” she said.
Senator Adedibu described the incident as a horrible experience but thanked God that it did not happen mid-air.
He commended the pilot, the crew and airport officials for being observant and for the prompt rescue operation. He also confirmed that all the passengers were still at the Abuja airport at 8:45p.m. when Saturday Tribune spoke with him.
Thank God for their safety!

Thank God •̸№ life is lost&they should check well b4 commending operations!
ReplyDeleteThank God no life was lost.Mrs Oduah,if you have any honour still left in you,this is the time to resign. This is one air mishap too many.
DeleteIgor, Oduah didn't cause the engine mishap. Most accidents on airplane mid-flight are typically from human error. In this case, seems line maintenance/check before flight was commenced and a faulty engine was discovered in time. Maintenance of aircraft is solely the responsibility of the aircraft operator not the Minister of Aviation, unless that is her airline and aircraft. I belief she and her agencies are working very hard to keep all the airlines compliant, but you will have one to two cases like this. This may not be a non-compliant aircraft operator case, it may be something else. We don't know, so let the AIB do their job and give facts on what happened. Oh btw, no more stories about the aircraft being old and thats why it caught fire, the new Boeing 787-8 china bound flight caught on fire due to lithium ion batteries issue, point is, brand new OEM aircrafts have mishaps. As long as you maintain your aircraft, it can last a very longtime, 30-40 yrs even longer. A little education to correct the wrong thinking on this blog. Sorry for any spelling errors.
DeleteThank God nothing bad happened.
ReplyDeletemay God protect us from all this evil tins, Aviation sector really needs cleansing ASAp

ReplyDeleteI guess Stella Oduah would see this as another act of God. Why on earth was the Senator thanking the engineers and the pilot? They almost killed him. He should be suing them.

ReplyDeleteSerious deliverance against plane crash
ReplyDeleteVia 0809ja for Life
This is what I hate about Nigeria. They keep thanking God for saving their lives instead of actually trying to put a stop to all these plane crashes.
ReplyDeleteI just saw a very emotional video on facebook of one of the 2 sosoliso plane crash survivors. It's really nerve-wrecking when you realise that nothing has actually changed or improved in the safety of the aviation industry.
Are you trying to tell me that those lives that were lost in plane crashes didn't thank God enough or that they don't know how to thank God?
Tomorrow is Sunday, they'll go to church to give testimony and continue with their lives instead of asking questions, investigating to prevent future occurences etc...
No wonder the Minister of aviation said that the last plane crash was "an act of God"
#SMH #Iweepforthiscountry #toobad
Average Nigerans can't really do much. They don't have enough airlines to pick n choose from. So, they go with the lesser of the evils. The NCAA should be monitoring the airlines and operators but the responsibility belongs to the aircraft operators. But what do you do with an irresponsible aircraft operator that bribes its way through compliance and knows people in government? Nothing, especially in Nigeria.
DeleteGod oooooh glory be 2 u, hmmmm another one wanted 2 happen again Lord hv mercy on ur children...
ReplyDeleteThank God it didn't happen mid-air
ReplyDeleteDey really brushed shoulder with death.The aviation really needs deliverance from the witches in form of govt,ministers and co tormenting it!

ReplyDeleteHilary obiorah, u are big fool for dat statement, would u say same if u hada family in one of those crashes. Animal lik u.
DeleteTnk God 4 d gift of life...~ chidinma
ReplyDeletePlease thank God for me special too o. My dad was supposed to be on this flight but had a change in plans and decided to call his driver to come pick him instead of flying. He rarely changes his plans so I give all the Glory.
ReplyDeleteThe plane did not crash, stop being melodramatic. I am sincerely happy for you and your family however, near death experiences can change perspectives. Also, these airplanes have slides/ raft and has been qualified for emergency evacuation from the cabin in cases such as these. This BBJ aircraft as well as others can evacuate over 300 passengers in 90 seconds or less. So, with minor fires such as these, they have enough time to evacuate the aircraft. Just fyi

ReplyDeleteThankGod another crash didnot happen again
ReplyDeleteThank God ooooo
ReplyDeleteYes we thank God..but ridiculous that no one's mentioned the bleeding obvious apart from one that hinted..The Airline and NAA should be negligible if they had all been killed...what happened to the Airline's safety checks..what happened to NAA checking and granting approval before the Airline is given the all clear...95% talking about an act of God...just one or two mentioned the obvious flaws in the entire system..flying coffins!!
ReplyDeleteThis so called media issues no how to lie Abeg.now here is the undiluted version of d story from my friend whom I ca technico who was returning from Abuja where she went to register for Nysc.i cannot believe I am commenting on Linda blog today but I if I had lost my friend on dis flight no one would have known how Nigerians especially the so called good crew do not understand dat u are not to implement d culture of managing things when it comes to flying planes.according to my friend who told me she almost died dis yesterday in Abuja "when the plane was taxing on d runway to takeoff,the plane stopped moving at some point.and so the crew called on engineers to fix d plane.while all dis was going on.an elderly woman (who had called her husband wen she noticed how faulty d plane was)said she doesn't want to fly again! And guess wat d stupid crew said d woman should sit down dat d plane can fly.omo the woman kept insisting she wanted to get off because her husband has already warned her to get off that plane whilst she narrated d incidence to him on phone.and so after some time of persuasion ,the lady sat down and so the plane continued to taxi on the runway.just before d plane took off,everyone began to perceive a burning smell from the same plane n d next thing smoke started oozing out from the plane.in reaction to this.a PASSENGER pushed down d emergency door and everybody ran as fast as their legs could carry them because they feared the plane could also explode! Now here comes the media talking bullshit.imagine attempted murder(managing a plane that has a faulty engine).nonsense! This habit of managing planes has to stop.i am not saying that means of transportation on land such as buses are safer but more attention should be paid to flights because damn! We are talking of people lives been at risk in the AIR.ahnhn Nigeria which way forward!enough is enough to manage manage!
ReplyDeleteNow that is scary. So it was a passenger that opened the emergency exit, not the cabin crew? I was wondering why that overwing exit wasn't open?
Deletelisten to the eye witness account.."including a SENATOR'..is the senator's life worth more than yours and the other lucky passenger? MORON!
ReplyDeleteLmao..love dat statement"all of us, including a senator,rushed out of the plane"Em for no run na!!!lollll
ReplyDeletey"all should go and do dedication to God tommorrow sunday.
ReplyDeleteAlmost doesn't count, this is almost disastrous,some wives almost became widows,husbands widowers n children fatherless,no need to commend anybody, the issue of Plane crash in Nigeria is over alarming!!!! God have mercy
ReplyDeleteThank you lord. I say no more of plane crash in naija ijn

ReplyDeleteAirplanes and thier wahala sha???? i wish there was another form of transportation faster that Airplanes......Thank God no life was lost.. i took a flight from lagos - enugu one time and fews minutes to our landing ,they announced that we couldnt land yet due to bad weather so we were just hanging in the air waiting for another annocement. oboy i peed on my pants...... LOl... thank God we eventually landed safely.ever since have been very skeptical about airplanes.expecially in this country of ours. i wish there was a plane that doesnt fly in the air.maybe a roadplane is what we need atleast it will be fast and it wont crash land.lol
ReplyDeleteWE NEED TO SORT OUT THE MESS IN OUR AVIATION INDUSTRY, GOD WILL NOT COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND DO IT FOR US, THE PEOPLE THAT DIED IN OTHER CRASHES, NO BE CHILDREN OF GOD THEM BE, THE PEOPLE IN OTHER COUNTRIES THAT DON'T MENTION GOD AS MUCH AS NIGERIANS NO BE CHILDREN OF GOD DEM BE? EVERYTHING IN NIGERIA WE WILL MENTION GOD. ITS TIME TO ACT AND EXECUTE RATHER THAN BE CALLING GOD ANYHOW.. THAT IS WHY NIGERIA IS WERE IT IS TODAY
ReplyDeleteThank you Lord
ReplyDeleteDis is such a freaken lie!!!! Dis is not even an overland plane, i was on dat flight and dis is not wat happened, people like to talk nonsense, mschewwwwwww!
ReplyDeleteLet me say something here. i have boarded that Overland plane from Lagos to Ilorin before. it was the most grueling one hour. i told myself never to step on their planes again, even though i was on official trip. it is not n 'Act of God', it is carelessness, ineptitude and a show of disregard for the lives of Nigerians. Anyone ever on that Overland plane will tell you it is suicidal to get on it. i couldnt even chat with the lady seated next to me. Everyone was visibly afraid because of its engine noise, the fans on the wings of the plane have no covering, they were basically spinning naked, the navigation was completely wrong, like it was not meant to be a commercial flight but a war plane. Landing was the most pathetic, we literally landed the plane with the pilot in prayers and i stepped off sweating profusely. Now did you say the plane caught fire? You must be kidding me, it sure looks like something that may happen every time the put that thing in the air. Government should line up old and dangerous planes and destroy them. Any airline that fly an old and ill-maintained plane should be banned for 5 years, not just all these 2weeks suspension. thats the way to keep your citizens safe and not 'thank God they didnt die'.
ReplyDelete“We first observed that engineers were frantically fiddling with the plane’s engine ( like seriously)Smh
ReplyDeleteInstead of disembarking d passengers first....
Thank God no life was lost....
Thank God for His faithfulness!!!
