Exclamation B747 crash at Lagos

From todays LLoyds List...

A Hydro Air B747 freighter was cleared for a night time landing at Lagos, on a runway that had been closed for resurfacing work.

At aircraft touchdown, the landing gear was ripped off after lodging in construction holes. The jet then collided with heavy equipment and machinery, only for one wing to torn off.

All the crew escaped unhurt but the plane, Hydro’s only B747, was a write-off.
