An incident occured yesterday in JOS, not Lagos. The affected aircraft is EAS Airlines Boeing 737-200 which skidded off the runway in bad weather (spent one hour in holding patterns waiting for weather to improve). No fatalities reported, but the airline is yet to make a statement. I wonder, why didn't the pilot simply change course and land in Enugu or Port Harcourt instead, if he had that much fuel?
