Sisi_Kill: Nigeria starts dismantling its plane 'graveyard'

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Workers have begun dismantling the abandoned airplanes left to rot at airports across Nigeria, a nation with a troubled history of crashes and mismanaged airlines.

The work has started in Lagos at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, where passengers coming into Africa's most populous nation have long seen the abandoned planes when landing there. Henry Omeogu, director of airport operations for the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, said Thursday that he hopes workers will dismantle all the aircraft within the coming weeks.

Omeogu estimated there are at least 65 abandoned planes at Nigeria's airports, ranging from small jets to a massive Boeing 747 in the northern city of Kano.

The work comes as Nigeria struggles to overcome a past filled with airline disasters and corruption in the aviation sector.

A fighter jet pilot crash landed into the forest, and the tribe started to worship this fighter jet pilot and build a shrine for him where they worship him. when a rescue team later found the pilot and took him with them, the villagers still worship in that shrine, some paraphernalia in that shrine include a cigarette lighter belonging to the pilot and his life parachute
