PORT HARCOURT
In the second air disaster in Nigeria in less than two months, an airplane crashed while landing in a storm this weekend in the southern oil industry centre of Port Harcourt, killing 107 people, most of them secondary school pupils from the capital, Abuja.
The DC-9 Sosoliso Airline jet with 110 people on board was on a flight from Abuja to Port Harcourt on Saturday afternoon, with a brief stop in the southeastern city of Enugu. At the crash scene in Port Harcourt 103 people were confirmed dead immediately; four of the seven survivors died later in hospital.
It was the second major air accident in the country in under two months. A Bellview airliner crashed on 22 October soon after taking off from Nigeria’s largest city, Lagos, killing all 117 people on board.
