A most dedicated Aircraft Engineer died,
as a result of an explosion of a B737 tyre, soon after arriving on stand, at Lagos International airport, in 1979.
May He Rest In Peace.

Unrelated to this event, every proper operator of jet aircraft worldwide now use nitrogen rather than compressed air to charge their aircraft tyres.
