A Max Air aircraft reportedly caught fire after the plane crashed-landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, NAIA, in Abuja Today, May 7
The plane was reportedly coming from Yola in Adamawa State when this incident occurred.
The tyre burst at Yola Airport after takeoff, according to Dr. Mike Ogirima, a former president of the Nigeria Medical Association, NMA. He said that when the plane crashed-landed in Abuja, emergency personnel were already on the scene putting out the fire before the passengers disembarked at the runway.
“We thank God. We are still on the runway and the pilot has reassured us. He has called for the stairs and we are now disembarking from the runway to be evacuated to the airport building at the arrival hall. We bless God because we have witnessed the pull out of the tyre right from the airport in Yola and we went into a prayer session. I never announced it as a surgeon so as not to cause any panic but we bless God.” Vanguard quoted him as saying
