BREAKING NEWS: YET ANOTHER PLANE CRASH

Sokoto Bound Plane Crashes in Abuja
DAAAAAAAAAAAANG!!!!!! THIS IS BAD!!!!! VERY VERY VERY BAD!!!!!! I posted this around 5.30am pacific but I am bringing it up because of the 'implications' of the crash.
According to this Yahoo Article: "Among the passengers was the sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Maccido, who is the spiritual leader of Nigeria's Muslims, according to Mustapha Shehu, spokesman for the Sokoto state government.Shehu said the sultan's son, Muhammed Maccido, a senator, also was on the flight, along with Abdulrahman Shehu Shagari, son of former Nigerian President Shehu Shagari, who was in office between 1979 and 1983."SORRY TO BE A FEAR MONGER BUT JUDGING FROM THE PAST AND CONSIDERING THIS IS ELECTION ANXIETY PERIOD THIS IS VERY VERY VERY VERY BAD!!!THERE WILL BE MANY CONSPIRACY THEORIES THAT COULD EXACERBATE MATTERS!!! IT IS NIGERIA!

*****************************************************
Woke up to this news just hot off the wires. It is like dejavu all over again because the same thing happened this time last year with the Bellview and Sosoliso incidents. They say it is storm related. I am not too sure about that. Condolences to any who is affected. Safe travels to all who will be venturing on journeys.
See CNN
See BBC
See article in the Nigerian Tribune Overview of the Aviation industry from Oct 26See One man's account of surviving a plane crash in Nigeria
By the way does anybody know where one can get Nigerian radio or TV station stream online? It is not a trick question. Just would like to know. And I don't mean like an online music database. Once upon a time I believe we could get Rhythm FM's(i think it was) live stream direct from their studio but the connection was some how.

Thanks fr all the links, I'll check themm out.

@Anonymous...so sorry to hear about your loss. It is truly sad that many people are being killed for nothing. I hope the Aviation minister will be fired and all the planes inspected because this is really just crazy.

there's a new airline being launched named Arik Airlines. supposedly been checked out by foreigners and all, but of course there is controversy surrounding that cuz "the white man" in charge left, and people are saying he resigned cuz the govt was still trying to cut corners. the govt, of course, says he was let go becuase he fulfilled the obligations of his contract and that Arik is going to be "the pride of the nation". heard that one before! it's very interesting that every time a plane crashes in naija, there's a very important figure on board. everyone needs to read "confessions of an economic hit man". you may never fly again.

This is just a disgrace.
The minister and everyone in the aviation sector should go and hide in a corner because they are shameless.....I just soooo pissed off...more children dead because of some people's incompetence and greed.

Ada, I must commend u for the web..It's really helpful and loaded with stuffs.

U see, when an accident such as that of ADC aircraft happens in places like the US and UK, the PUBLIC OUTCRY alone is sufficient to force a change in the situation. Quite unfortunate that another crash has happened, but u give Nigerians just A MONTH or TWO, and u'll see that they've forgotten about the ADC plane crash...Normal life continues as they say!...
What I'm saying in essence is that when we the public only sympathise rather than criticize...,and continue criticizing.., and I mean no rest, no stopping, then, total overhauling of the Aviation Industy will be done. If we don't, I must say the threat of another crash will always be there!

I have taken a flight from Lagos to P.Harcourt, where right from departure a passenger complained of the abnormal sound of the engines, and that if nothing is done to it, they should allow him to disembark..., And guess what the rest of the passenger said.." Mr man answer us and sit down.., don't delay us..are u the pilot.. and all sorts". Ok, fine, we landed at P.Harcourt safely (Many thanks to God).., Now every passenger sees the man as an idiot that doesn't know what he was saying before the plane left Lagos.
And that is just the attitude of most people that fly these crafts. They just fly with the hope of not crashing, even when they see that the plane is not airworthy.
I must not tell about the plane that was leaking rain water. Yeah, so horrible, that the passenger had to sit elsewhere.

Again, In the UK for example, a woman had to collaborate with the Police for about 17good years to fish out the killer of her son who was recently jailed. That'z what I call OUTCRY..not just sympathizing, and forget it in just a matter of months.

After the SOSOLISO crash last year, some group of mothers.., rallied round Abuja to ensure something is done to the prevailent air disasters, but now, they've stopped..,Well, they will, when they feel nobody is listening and nothing is been done...And just because nothing was done, we lost about 15 army in an an aircraft in September.., "so soon early had we remembered that"..and now it's ADC again. I Just hope they won't forget this soon, and there will be a general PUBLIC OUT of the situation till a change is seen.

Pls visit www.petitiononline.com/borisha and sign the petition against the Aviation minister.

If the Nigerian president will not sack this man, Nigerians must come out and clearly state that we are tired of the Minister's incompetence.
