Incidents and accidents

• On October 22, 2005, Bellview Airlines Flight 210, a Boeing 737 aircraft with 117 people on board, crashed shortly after taking off from Lagos en route to the Nigerian capital Abuja. ^[3]

Early reports from Oyo state government officials claimed that at least half of those on board survived the crash, but later retracted that statement saying that that “the latest reports coming to us say that all the people on the plane died.” Confusion at the crash site was given as a cause for the mistaken figure. CNN reports that poor weather may have contributed to the crash. The crash inquiry is being aided by officials from Boeing and the United States National Transportation Safety Board. The flight data recorders have not yet been recovered, though pieces of their casing have been found. Angus Ozoka, a Nigerian official leading the crash investigation, said he believes the recorders were destroyed in the impact.
