Plane Crash: Med view Airline Escapes Crash In Abuja!!!

According to The PUNCH, barely a month after the
Associated Airlines plane crash, another air disaster was
averted at the Nnamdi Azikwe Airport, Abuja on Monday
as a Med-View Airlines aircraft from Lagos suddenly took to
the air again at the point of landing in Abuja. Punch reports
that the airline Flight VL2104 which had about 150
passengers on board took off from the Murtala Muhammed
Airport, Lagos at noon and was scheduled to land in Abuja
at about 1.05pm. More after the break ...
The pilot had already announced final descent into Abuja
and asked all passengers and cabin crew to fasten their seat
belts only for him to suddenly take off to the air again with
barely 30 seconds to touch ground.

Definitely, his action
caused big panic, commotion among the passengers who
bursted into prayers, yells to know what was happening,
especially when the plane entered into turbulent weather
on air. The PUNCH correspondent who was among the
passengers while telling his story, said that among the
passengers were five different complete families. One of the
passengers, a nursing mother, who was breastfeeding her
son at the time the pilot took off again withdrew the breast
from the boy's mouth and started praying profusely while
the baby's cry rented the air.
It wasn't until after about three minutes of gaining altitude,
the pilot announced that he had decided to take off again to
avoid colliding with an aircraft that was on ground.

According to the pilot, after he had been granted clearance
to land, it was later discovered that the other aircraft was
not fast enough, hence his decision to take off. The aircraft
hovered for another 20 minutes in the air before finally
landing at about 1:30pm. When the plane finally landed,
the passengers struggled to disembark.

"Are you still sitting
down? Let me rush down in case it will suddenly take off
again," a middle-aged man was heard asking one of his co-
passengers.

When will all these crashes and crash-scares STOP?
