From a passing bus in Lagos, the ground view of a Nigerian passenger jet stuck in place. Thank you lord. Blown tire. Landing on a rain-soaked runway, the air P737 with 139 people on board came down hard. Then as the plane exited the runway, two tires blew, the nose gear collapsed, the strut punching through the pavement. Oh my god. No one was injured, once off the plane a first glimpse of the damage.
I'm thankful to the pilots. She kept talking to us all the while. Found it six years ago, air piecewise mostly African routes. On its Twitter page the airline pledges no shortcuts, safety first. And a statement claiming today: after landing safely and rolling to the runway exit, the nose gear developed a problem and partially collapsed. A Nigerian accident team now investigating.
