Reports reaching LW has it that disaster was averted when a distressed Qatar Airways flight from Doha safely made an emergency landing in Nigeria's economic capital Lagos on Saturday after encountering a problem with one of its tyres.
Facts are still sketchy right now but initial reports from a credible online source has it that the aircraft landed at the cargo terminal of Murtala Mohammed International Airport and was then towed to an area where passengers were able to disembark.
You will recall that in June, a McDonnell Douglas-83 operated by Dana Air plunged into a a residential area in Ishaga, Lagos State after reportedly suffering double engine failure. The crash killed all 153 passenger and crew as well as at least six people on the ground.
