Passengers narrowly escaped death after an aircraft in the midst of landing crash-landed in Ilorin, Kwara State, from Abuja.
Reports indicate the aircraft which allegedly belongs to one of the biggest airline companies in the world crash when trying to land after the front tyre burst, resulting in the aircraft running off the tarmac track of the airport.
The reports suggest the tyre burst and the big ‘bang’ sound affected the cabin, with luggage falling on passengers and the pilot losing control of the aircraft.
No lives are reported to have been lost or injured, but the aircraft seems to have been in a real bad state after a couple of videos sighted by our outfits shows the front side of the aircraft on the tarmac track without tyres.
A narration behind the video making rounds on social media which seems to be one of the passengers recording it shows how frightened and shocked the passengers were looking at how the incident occurred.
