airplane | Zikoko!

In something that might be the script for a well-done Hollywood movie, a plane crash happened and no one died!

A helicopter, with 13 passengers on board, en route Lagos from Port Harcourt landed in the Atlantic ocean.

It didn’t land in the large body of water by accident. It was a deliberate decision to make the controlled emergency landing by Nigeria’s first female helicopter Captain, Abimbola Jaiyeola.

A friend of the pilot shared this in a Facebook post:

Let’s celebrate and thank God for our Female Capt Abimbola Jayeola ,who was the Capt on the Bristow Chopper that ditched…

Her quick thinking saved the lives of all on board.

Where are those who think women can do a good a job as their male counterparts, eh?

Imagine you take an interstate flight as you go home for Christmas and your plane lands safely.

You thank the Almighty for making it possible.

Then you get ready to disembark.

Only to be told that the passenger stairway has malfunctioned and you won’t be able to leave immediately.

What would you do?

Well these Nigerians who chartered a plane definitely had a really practical solution. They used a ladder!

Aero Contractors had a problem with their stairway and apparently didn’t have a spare.

Passengers who arrived the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa International Airport were forced to leave the aircraft via a makeshift ladder.

Now other countries are making fun of the “giant of Africa” for this.

Nigerians are asking, “Where is the Minister of Aviation?”

This is disappointing!
