Was expecting this kind of headline in the National Papers today..

Mr Demuren should please show us the report he got from his NCAA Investigators less than 24hrs after the incident to come up with this story of his

"Commenting on the accident, Director-General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Dr. Harold Demuren, said the aircraft faltered while about to land because of low-level wind shear and overshot the runway, as its left landing gear stuck in the mud, losing a tyre in the process.
“Aero aircraft encountered a low-level wind shear, which led the left side tyre to go into flame and the aircraft to over-shoot the runway. There was no casualty.”
Demuren said everything was under control as all concerned aviation agency officials were on hand to assess the incident. "

All I can say is the crew operating the Jos schedule are highly experienced and very competent individuals.....
