Some Info...
Here is some info on the Hydro crash.
Sorry guys, no cowboy crew on this one and not a cowboy operator either...
Hydro WAS cleared to land on 19R - three times. Each time the crew requested confirmation, as they actually had the NOTAM and yes, they actually read it.
A/C landed and ran through some trenches dug across the rwy, damaging the nose gear and LH wing gear. Lost hydraulics and departed the rwy to the left, digging in the LH gear and dragging the LH engines into he ground.
At this stage there is no confirmation of whether the a/c will be recovered, as there is no confirmation of the cost to recover and repair. Just looking at all the old wrecks standing around, it would probably be cheaper (definitely easier) to take the insurance than to repair and recover.
All on board are alive and well, although a bit shaken.
Nigerian officials have prohibited any photographers from taking photos, make sense doesn't it. Apparently the ATC is missing and will probably never be found again.
Oh, by the way the language in Nigeria and Ghana is some form of English (Nigerish in Nigeria and Ghanish in Ghana). Takes some time getting used to.
