Fellow NL,
I just confirmed from someone that works at the airport, it was a training exercise on safety by the airport authorities NOT a commercial flight. What happened was that, the plane developed a small fault and this caused a stare withing the airport. but as i write this, everything is in other and back to normal.
So no Heart attack people, have a blessed week & continue praying for our beloved country NIGERIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mock plane crash turns real in PH
From Henry Chukwurah, Port Harcourt

An initially mock exercise in air crash management turned sour yesterday as a military aircraft used in the demonstration near the Port Harcourt International Airport, plunged into the bush. No life was however lost in the accident but some of the crewmen were said to have sustained various degree of injuries.

Strangely, the zonal office of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) dismissed it merely as, “a simulation exercise”.
Checks by Saturday Sun revealed that the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), had organized a “simulation exercise” on how to manage crashes and passengers in crash situations.

Unfortunately the mock crash exercise that started in the morning later turned sour when the aircraft with registration Number NAF: 950GG222-8 Series, veered off the runway into the bush. Luckily, nobody died in the accident.
However, following the accident, the airport was shut down briefly and later resumed normal flight operations.
When contacted, the South South Zonal Coordinator of NEMA, Mr. Umesi Emenike merely dismissed the incident as “a simulation exercise” and his line suddenly went off.

After two repeated calls by Saturday Sun, he promised to call back and cut off the call.
Also, repeated calls put to the Assistant General Manager, Public Affairs of the Port Harcourt Airport, Mr. Victor Arisa, were not picked. This was despite a text identifying this reporter after initial unanswered calls.
However, when contacted, the Acting Regional Airspace Manager in-charge of the airport area, Mr. Mike Balile told Saturday Sun that it was initially a mock exercise that started well but later led to an accident.

“It was actually a mock exercise. The aircraft actually came for the exercise with all the passengers some of who were in bandage as if they sustain injuries. However, during landing, the aircraft veered off into the bush”, he said.
Mr. Balile however assured that the situation has been brought, “very much under control”.
