The Captain Ignored Computer Warning and Was Arguing With Co-Pilot Before Agagu's Plane Crashed - Blackbox

Leave a Comment

According to the black box for the Associated Airlines aircraft that crashed on the 3rd October in Lagos Nigeria and killed 15 people, there appeared to have being an argument between the Captain and the First Officer of the Associated Airline aircraft.

PMNews reports that the readout of the black box , also known as Cockpit Voice Recorder, CVR, conducted by Nigeria’s Accident Investigation Bureau, AIB, in its Abuja’s laboratory revealed that
the computer onboard the plane sent a warning message to the Captain, Yakubu Abdulrahman, shortly before take-off but he ignored it.

Approximately four seconds after engine power was advanced to commence the take-off roll, the crew received an automated warning from the onboard computer voice which consisted of three chimes followed by “take-off flaps…take-off flaps.
This is a configuration warning that suggests that the flaps were not in correct position for take-off.

The First Officer then suggested to the pilot to abort take-off but Yakubu Abdulrahman proceeded and took off.

“The First Officer asked if the take-off should be aborted approximately 12 seconds after the ‘eight knots’ callout,” said Captain Mukhtar Usman, Commissioner Accident Investigation Bureau, AIB.

“The crew discussed some concerns about the aircraft prior to departure but at this time we are not prepared to elaborate on those concerns as there remains a lot of work to do to complete on the CVR analysis in order to determine the specific nature of the crew’s concerns,” said AIB Commissioner, Muktar Usman.

Hoodlums Fight Over Money Recovered From Crash Victims

1 comment

It's sad enough that people died from a tragic plane crash but some saw it as an opportunity to enrich themselves. While most people were simply concern about the safety of survivals, some hoodlums were busy scanning the remains and properties of the victims for money and valuable items. 
Punch reports that some hoodlums were seen exchanging blows and throwing bottles at one another over the money they found on the dead victims of the Associated Airline plane crash.
It was learnt that when the hoodlums were assisting in the evacuation of the victims, they allegedly searched the victims’ pockets for money and other valuable things.
It was also learnt that the fight ensued due to alleged ‘insincerity’ in the sharing of the money they stole from the dead.
One of the hoodlums, identified simply as Loko, was heard saying, “You won’t believe that after the whole rescue thing, we luckily found money and they don’t want to share it equally.”
"It is situation like this that makes me conclude that the ordinary Nigerian is as wicked and corrupt as the government that govern them". I hope we have a change of heart towards our fellow Nigerians and begin to love one another.It starts with you....

Leave a Comment
Feyi Agagu

Not everyday you see someone who survives a plane crash . Despite the great lost of friends and family members, we still thank God for those who survived the terrible crash.
Feyi, the son of late former Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Agagu, has said that he is alright and no one should worry about his state. Feyi spoke when his friends, visited him at the Surgical Emergency ward of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja where he and other victims of the Associated Airline plane crash were rushed to on Thursday.

The victim, who spoke normally, said he became unconscious after feeling the impact of the aeroplane hitting the ground but woke up later. He had a neck support and some bandages but he giggled when he saw his friends wearing worried faces.
While being wheeled to the Intensive Care Unit for a body scan, the victim threw his right thumb up to his friends, saying ‘nothing do me’.
A second victim, Femi Akinsanya, was seen on another bed talking with about seven of his relatives, including Hip Hop Musician, Sasha Alabi.
Akinsanya, who had a neck support around his neck, described his survival as a miracle.
Doctors were seen advising his pregnant wife not to move him to another hospital yet until he is stabilised.

It was not all smiles at the hospital as a plump woman, said to be the wife of one of the dead victims, Chijioke Duru, was seen weeping profusely, rolling on the ground at the hospital.
She wailed, “Chjioke, I am finished, who will take care of our daughter, Chinasa. Why did you leave me? I am finished.”
