"A plane of the airline company nigérianne Bellview Airlines made an exit of track at the time of its landing on the international airport of Douala (Cameroun) because of the bad visibility and the terrible weather conditions. The plane, a Boeing 737, flight B3-260, which was to carry out the connection between the international airport Murtala Mohammed of Lagos (Nigeria) and the international airport Leon Me Ba of Libreville (Gabon) with a stopover on the international airport of Douala, had just had patience nearly one hour above this airport when the pilot tried the landing at the time of a lull in the middle of terrible weather conditions. Without the reason being still known, the plane east is seemed it presented too quickly and could not stop before the end of track, outgoing in grass. The plane stopped while being inserted under its own weight and it neither wounded nor important damage there. The passengers were evacuated under a beating rain and were transferred in the air terminal. Few information were communicated by the airline company and the rumours go currently good train to explain this exit of track."
