AAL - Although this is a tragic accident, your comments are completely accurate. How many African Cargo Airlines have to crash before the EEU and others realise that there is no Safety Oversight or Compliance in these countries. (How can there be with the lack of infrastructure and funding to monitor these 'offshore' airlines especially with the more modern aircraft types such as the MD11). Avient have a dubious reputation at best and this accident will put them very much under the spotlight with the safety authorities which is so it should be. Our hearts go out to the familes and friends of the crew members that have lost their lives, they deserved better.
