Nigeria: 15 feared dead in plane crash near Lagos Airport

“The plane was making a lot of noise before it came down,” said witness Rasheed Olajide, an engineer working at the airport. “It appeared to reverse back to avoid crashing into the residential area. It came down at a 45 degree angle.”

This is the second fatal air crashes in Nigeria within the past 18 months – in June last year, 163 people died when a Dana Air plane crashed into a Lagos apartment block in the country’s worst airline disaster in two decades.
