DANA OFFICIAL: WE WERE FORCED TO FLY THE PLANE!

According to the official, "the plane has had problems that the
airlines were aware and should not have flown
but the owners inisted that the ill-fated flight
must go ahead. "The same plane had issues in Uyo, Calabar and
Abuja over the last few weeks and even
experienced issues yesterday morning." Officials of Dana Air were
advised earlier that the
plane shouldn't fly due to some faults noticed in
it, but the Indian owners insisted that the air craft
should fly. Also, the Special Adviser, Technical to Minister of
Aviation, Mr. Victor Oche Elias, has revealed that
the pilot of the ill-fated plane, had alerted the
aviation authority of the airport, on the
emergency situation 11 nautical miles to landing. It was further
disclosed that the pilot's may-day
cry was given priority, but the plane could not
make it, as it crashed 4 nautical miles to landing. MC Donnell Douglas
MD 83 was sold to Dana
Airline in 2009 by a US-based Alaska Airlines
ahead of the airline, commencing its services in
Nigeria.


They are quick to come to Nigeria to do
business cos they know they can cut
corners and beat the system. Sad! Sad indeed!
