Another Plane Crash Averted in Abuja !!!!!!!! [FULL GIST]

Another air disaster was averted at the Nnamdi Azikwe Airport, Abuja on
Monday as a Med-View Airlines aircraft from Lagos suddenly took to the air
again at the point of landing in Abuja.
The pilot told the passengers that he took to the air again to avoid a collision
with another aircraft on the tarmac.
The airline Flight VL2104 took off from the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos
at noon and was scheduled to land in Abuja at about 1.05pm.
The pilot had already announced final descent into Abuja and asked all
passengers and cabin crew to fasten their seat belts but the pilot suddenly
took off to the air again with barely 30 seconds to touch ground.
The plane had 150 passengers on board. A correspondent of The PUNCH was
one of the passengers.
After about three minutes of gaining altitude, the pilot announced that he
decided to take off again to avoid colliding with an aircraft that was on
ground.
He said that after he had been granted clearance to land, it was later
discovered that the other aircraft was not fast enough, hence his decision to
take off.
The aircraft hovered for another 20 minutes in the air before finally landing
at about 1.30pm.
While the drama lasted, the passengers were panic-stricken, especially
when the plane entered into turbulent weather on air.
The PUNCH correspondent said that among the passengers were five
different complete families.
One of the passengers, a nursing mother, who was breastfeeding her son at
the time the pilot took off again reportedly withdrew the breast from the
boy’s mouth and started praying profusely while the baby’s cry rented the
air.
When the plane finally landed, the passengers struggled to disembark.
“Are you still sitting down? Let me rush down in case it will suddenly take
off again,” a middle-aged man was heard teasing one of his co-passengers.
The incident came less than a month after an Embraer aircraft operated by
Associated Airlines with registration number SCD 361, conveying the corpse
of a former Governor of Ondo State, Chief Olusegun Agagu, from Lagos to
Akure for burial, crashed on October 3 shortly after take-off at Murtala
Mohammed Airport, Lagos.
Thirteen passengers in the crashed plane were killed, including a
commissioner in Ondo State, Deji Falae
