I am interested to see who was PIC and what the CVR and FDR have to say. For one has flown into Lagos a GA was not uncommon due to the occasions when local wild animals got inside the airport perimeter, and if my memory serves me correct an L1011 burst a tyre on takeoff there b4, and many other rumours I have heard. Having parked a 742 there myself, I may say that the runway surfacing is(at least was) amongst the poorest in the world. What I would deem as serious "holes" in the surface. Generally the further down the 3900M runway you get the better the surface becomes though.
