A passenger plane thought to be carrying at least 140 people crashed in Lagos, Nigeria, on Sunday, emergencies officials there said.

The Dana Air flight from Abuja to Lagos crashed in a densely-populated area of Lagos, Nigeria's largest city, causing several house fires, reports said. Police told Agence France-Press that the plane crashed into a two-story building near the airport.

The exact number of passengers on the flight is unclear. The Lagos state government said 153 people were on board, but an official told the Associated Press that the plane was likely carrying between 140 and 150 people, as not all flights in Nigeria issue paper tickets and "don't record all passengers via computer."

There has not been an official report of casualties, but Harold Denuren, head of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, told London's Telegraph, "I don't believe there are any survivors."

"I can confirm that one of our planes crashed today on the outskirts of Lagos," a spokesman for Dana Air told AFP.

According to Al Jazeera, witnesses on the ground "believe it may have hit a power line" before it crashed into the building and burst into flames.

"Thick smoke rose from the area near the Lagos airport and flames could be seen coming from the building," the AFP reported. "Residents said the plane had been coming in low, making a loud noise, when it slammed into the residential area."

According to the Dana Air website, it operates several daily Lagos-Abuja and Lagos-Abuja flights using Boeing MD83 planes.

Sunday's crash comes just a day after a Boeing 727 cargo plane flying from Lagos crashed in Accra, the capital of Ghana, hitting a bus and killing at least 10.

Lagos' international airport is a major hub for West Africa, accommodating more than 2.3 million passengers in 2009, according to the AP.

Mabaki ya Ndege iliyoanguka Ghana

Habari ya Ndege Iliyoanguka Ghana leo.

 

ACCRA, Ghana—Officials opened an investigation into the Boeing 727 cargo plane that crashed at Ghana's international airport, killing at least 10 people after it slammed through a fence and onto a nearby street, the country's transit company said Sunday.

Doreen Owusu Fianko, chief executive of Ghana Airport Co., said the group has discounted airport-equipment failure as one of the causes of the crash. She said they were open to outside help on the investigation.

"We would not hesitate to seek external assistance to unravel the cause and to take lessons from that," she said.

Saturday's crash occurred in Accra near Kotoka International Airport, which sits near newly built high-rise buildings and hotels. Witnesses said the plane smashed through the fence that runs around the airport before hitting a bus.

Randy Banahene, a taxi driver who saw the crash, said an explosion was heard when the plane hit a wall. He said the plane landed on its belly across a road, its nose nicked and tail bent with punctures on its side, just yards from a residential neighborhood.

Families gathered at the hospital mortuary late Saturday night to identify bodies. Among them were family members of 27-year-old Castro Abuchor, who they said was riding a motorcycle when he was hit by the plane and killed.

The others were killed while riding in the minibus that was hit by the plane, officials said.
Mortuary manager Woi Boamah Mensah at the 37 Military Hospital said that eight of the 10 dead have been identified. Hospital staff had earlier said that nine of the dead were men, and one was a woman.

Ghana President John Atta Mills on Sunday visited the four plane crew members who are receiving treatment at the airport clinic after surviving the crash.
"We are grateful to all of them," Mr. Mills said at the clinic.

Dr. Nana Ako-Bruce, the medical director of the clinic, said the four crew members were Nigerian.
Billy Anaglate, spokesman for the Ghana Fire Service, said that all 10 people were killed on impact. He identified the plane as an Allied (Air) Cargo plane.

Ms. Fianko said the plane was coming from Lagos, the commercial capital of Nigeria, when it crashed after a failed landing attempt. She said that operations at the airport had returned to normal after the crash Saturday.

Ghana, a nation of more than 25 million in West Africa, hasn't had a major airplane crash in recent years. The last air emergency the country had was in June 2006, when a TAAG Linhas Aereas De Angola flight to Sao Tome hit birds during takeoff. The plane landed safely and none of the 28 people onboard were injured.

Ndege Imeanguka Iran! Watu 168 Wafa!

(Mabaki ya ndege ilioanguka Iran)

Kuna habari za kusikitisha kutoka Iran. Ndege ya Caspian Airlines, imeanguka huko Iran na watu 168 wamepoteza maisha. Ndege ilikuwa hewani dakika 16 tu kabla ya kuanguka. Sehemu ilipoangukia imeacha shimo kubwa, mabaki hakuna zaidi ya vipande vidogo vidogo! Ndege hiyo iliruka kutoka uwanja wa ndege was kimataifa huko Iran (Imam Khomeini International Airport) na ilikuwa inaelekea mji mkuu wa Armenia,Yerevan.

*******************************************************************

Kutoka CNN.com

(CNN) -- A passenger plane carrying 168 people smashed into the ground in northwestern Iran Wednesday, killing everyone on board and creating a huge smoldering crater.

Photos indicate the aircraft created a huge crater.

Ten members of the country's youth judo team were aboard the Caspian Airlines plane, several sources including Press TV reported. The network said the dead included eight athletes and two coaches.

The plane "disintegrated into pieces," said Col. Masood Jafari Nasab, security commander of the city of Qazvin, close to the crash site.

Video of the crash site showed a huge crater in the earth scattered with charred pieces of the plane and tattered passports.
"The aircraft all of a sudden fell out of the sky and exploded on impact, where you see the crater," a witness told Press TV from the crash site.

Sirous Saberi, the deputy governor of Qazvin province, said military forces are searching for the plane's data recorder and cockpit voice recorder to determine the cause of the crash, Press TV said. The Russian-made Tupolev plane went down near the village of Jannatabad near Qazvin at 11:33 am on Wednesday, the station reported.

Qazvin Police Chief Hossein Behzadpour and Mohammad Reza Montazer Khorasan, the head of the disaster management center in Iran's health ministry, both confirmed that all 168 people on board were killed in the crash, Press TV reported.

Qazvin is the largest city in the province of Qazvin and is its capital, with an estimated population of 330,000.

It is about 140 kilometers (90 miles) northwest of Tehran, the capital of Iran.
The Iranian newspaper Hamshahri reported that the plane was flying from Tehran and was headed to Yerevan, Armenia.

The semi-official Mehr news agency listed the names of 153 passengers and 15 crew members. At least 42 of the names appeared to be Armenian, but it was not clear if they were from the former Soviet republic or if they were ethnically Armenian citizens of Iran.

The plane -- identified as flight number 7908 -- crashed 16 minutes after takeoff, said the newspaper, quoting a spokesman from Iran's civil aviation organization.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad expressed his condolences to the victims' families, as did the European Union in a statement.

Media reports said the type of aircraft involved in the crash was a Tupolev 154.
The three-engine Tupolev 154 is the aging workhorse of Russia's commercial fleet, at one time carrying about half of all Russian air passengers.

It was designed as the Soviet counterpart to the Boeing 727 and the European-made Trident, but with the added ability to operate from short, rough runways. About 1,000 were produced.

Although a popular aircraft, it has had a checkered history and has been involved in about 30 air disasters since it was created in 1968.

Aviation analyst Kieran Daly told CNN said numerous Tupolevs have been lost since the aircraft was introduced in the 70s.

"Having said that there were many of them built, and they have been in service in quite difficult parts of the world for a very long time. But there have been a lot of these Tupolev 154s lost, quite a few in Iran."

The last plane crash in Iran involving a Tupolev plane occurred in 2006, according to the Web site airdisaster.com.

That crash occurred on an Iran Air Tour flight from the port city of Bandar Abbas; it crashed and caught fire during landing, the Web site reported.

Twenty-nine of the 147 people on board died in that crash.

By George Obulutsa

DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters) – Tanzanian authorities have spotted some 13 bodies believed to be from a Yemeni airliner that crashed into the sea off the Indian Ocean archipelago of Comoros last week, an official said on Tuesday.

"We have a report from the district commissioner in Mafia, sent to the Prime Minister, saying that they have discovered about 13 bodies," said Saidi Nguba, spokesman for Tanzania's prime minister, adding that plane wreckage had been found.

"It is confirmed, according to these reports, that these are remains of a plane," he told Reuters.
Tanzanian police said earlier on Tuesday there were reports of some bodies washing up on Mafia Island off the coast of the east African country, northwest of the crash site.

Only one survivor out of 153 people on board has been found.

Mafia district commissioner Manzie Mangochei told television stations by phone the bodies were found floating around various parts of the island. He said bodies first appeared on Monday but the choppy waters made it difficult to retrieve them.

He said on state-run Tanzania Broadcasting Corporation that what appeared to be plane seats had been recovered and they were trying to verify whether other debris was part of a wing.
Rescue teams have detected a signal from the plane's flight recorders but say it could take a while to reach the wreck as it is in deep water.

Comoran army chief Colonel Ismael Moegni Daho said they had been sent reports of the discoveries by Tanzania and were sending a team of local investigators and aviation experts to Mafia early on Wednesday.

Yemeni plane crashes off Comoros, 150 on board

By Ahmed Ali Amir Ahmed Ali Amir –

MORONI (Reuters) – An airliner with 150 people on board belonging to Yemeni state carrier Yemenia crashed in the Indian Ocean archipelago of Comoros Tuesday, a senior government official said.

"We don't know if there are any survivors among the 150 people on the plane," Comoros vice-president Idi Nadhoim told Reuters from the airport at the main island's capital Moroni.
Nadhoim said the accident happened in the early hours of Tuesday, but could not give any more details.

"There is a crash, there is a crash in the sea," said an unnamed official who answered the phone in the Yemenia office in Moroni. He declined further comment.
An airline official in Yemen declined to comment.

Yemenia, which is 51 percent owned by the Yemeni government and 49 percent owned by the Saudi Arabian government, flies to Moroni, according to flight schedules on its Web site.

Ugandan couple feared dead in French plane crash

Tabu Butagira - Kampala

The yet-mystifying fall in Atlantic Ocean of the Air France airbus early on Monday snapped the attention of curious Ugandan news watchers as a casual plane disaster in the distance. But the magnitude of the mid-air horror nodded home yesterday after it emerged that a Ugandan couple returning from a honeymoon in Brazil was aboard the ill-fated flight 447.

A source that preferred that Air France, proprietors of the airline, formally announces the tragic news, however, said family members told close friends that newlyweds; Mr Timothy Ekironyoro and wife, Susan Mofeti perished in the crash. This is the first time news breaks of the presence of Ugandan nationals aboard the Air France carrier flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.

By yesterday, the Ugandan embassy in France, that a couple of days ago said no Ugandan was on board the plane, expressed shock over the Ugandan victims.

Mr Stephen Wamono, the administrative attaché at the Ugandan embassy in Paris, but who said he was offering private views, said: “We were just grieving because lives had been lost and saying sorry to our French friends. We did not have any idea that Ugandans were involved.

This information you have provided will help us follow up the matter.”
Daily Monitor could not readily crosscheck the latest report with Air France as the company’s phone line was jammed, apparently by hundreds of callers making varying inquiries about their loved ones.

News of the tragic end of a marital bliss is particularly unsettling in Uganda where only a handful can afford to fly to exclusive resorts abroad for holiday or marriage celebrations. We could not establish if the couple lived overseas.

It was not also immediately clear why Ugandan diplomats in Paris did not in the first place pick interest to inquire about the possibility of Ugandan nationals being aboard the Air France airbus.
The Times newspaper of London reported online that ships had begun trawling the crash area, spread over a 200-mile stretch as different theories emerged on what could have brought down the plane. Some experts suggested pilot error could have forced the plane to stall and break into pieces in violent storms moments after the plane manufacturer rushed out new guideline to operators on handling A330-200 aircrafts in turbulent weather.

Officials said debris, including airliner seats, believed to be that of the Air France airbus were identified from the air, about 800 miles off the Brazilian coast.

Cargo Plane crashes in Lake Victoria, at least 7 die

2009-03-10
By ENTEBBE, Uganda

An Ilyushin cargo plane on a logistical mission to African peace forces in Somalia crashed into Lake Victoria yesterday after taking off in Uganda with 11 people on board, including three Burundian officers.

Seven of those on board were confirmed dead, and an aviation source said he feared all 11 had been killed. ``It plunged into the lake and went down deep,`` the source said.

Rescue boats and divers scoured the lake`s choppy waters for survivors some 7 km (4.3 miles) from Uganda`s main airport at Entebbe, where the plane began its flight. Two wheels and some wreckage were brought onshore.

Ugandan military sources had initially identified the aircraft as an Antonov, but the Ugandan government later said it was a chartered Ilyushin 76.

It was taking tents and water purification equipment to Somalia, where Uganda and Burundi both have soldiers in a small African Union peacekeeping mission, Ugandan officials said.

The aircraft burst into flames before plunging into the lake and hitting two fishing boats, injuring four fishermen, Uganda`s government spokesman said.

``We have not rescued anybody... Time is really working against us,`` said Information Minister Matsiko Kabakumba.
A Civil Aviation Authority spokesman said there were four crew and seven passengers on board the aircraft when it crashed.

A Burundi army spokesman confirmed three of its soldiers -- a brigadier general, a colonel and a captain -- had died.

``The information we have is that the plane crashed five minutes after taking off at Entebbe Airport. Burundi deplores the death of three of its officers who were on the plane,`` Adolphe Manirakiza told Reuters in Bujumbura.

There was no immediate word on what caused the crash.
``We`re not ruling anything out, and we`re not ruling anything in,`` Kabakumba said, adding that the plane had flown some 20 missions in recent weeks.

Russian media said the pilot and copilot were Russian citizens and the navigator and flight engineer were Ukrainians.

All four were killed in the crash, Ruslan Madiyev, an official at the Russian embassy in Kampala, told RIA news agency.

Uganda said the flight also carried one Ugandan soldier, an Indian citizen, a Ugandan loadmaster and a South African peacekeeper.

Africa`s air accident rate is six times worse than the rest of the world, the International Air Transport Association says.

Ndege Yanguka Uholanzi!

Wadau, ndege imeanguka huko Amsterdam, Uholanzi. Ilikuwa ndege ya Uturuki. Habari zinasema kuwa watu 9 wamekufa, na zaidi ya 5o wameumia. Ilikuwa imebeba watu 135. Ndege ilikuwa inatoka Uturuki kwenda Uholanzi na ilikuwa katika harakati za kutua kwenye uwanja wa ndege ya Schipol. Abiria waliopona wanasema kuwa wala hawakuonywa kuwa ndege inaanguka. Waliambiwa wafunge mikanda ya viti kwa ajii ya kutua.

Naona ndege zinafululiza kuanguka sasa. Ilianza na ile ya Continental Airlines Flight 1549 iliyoanguka mtoni New York. Watu 50 walikuwa baada ya ndege yao Continental 3407 kuanguka kwenye nyumba huko Buffalo, New York. Na kumekuwa na ajali kadha za ndege ndogo. Hata hapa Massachusetts ndege ndogo ilianguka na kwa bahati mwanamke aliyekuwa anaiendesha alipona na majeraha madogo.

Wadau, yaani wanasema kuwa kusafiri na ndege ni salama kuliko usafiri wa gari. Lakini mimi kila nikipanda kwenye ndege lazima niombe. Na tukitua salama lazima niseme sala ya shukurani.

Mungu alaze roho ya waliopoteza maisha yao katika hiyo ajali mahala pema mbinguni. Amen.
