The Dhaka Times Desk Imagine what would happen if the doors of a moving plane were opened? But this time, the emergency exit door of a Nigerian airline really opened after landing!
According to a BBC report, after the landing of a Nigerian airline, the emergency exit door fell open. The unexpected incident happened after the plane landed in Abuja from Lagos.
The officials of the airline called Dana Air refused to accept that this happened due to a mechanical fault. On the contrary, they made one of the passengers of the plane guilty. They say, "This could never happen without the conscious effort of a passenger to open the door".
However, a passenger on the plane denied it. Dapo San, a passenger from Lagos, said that there was a lot of noise on the flight. The floor panel was also very shaky. I noticed that the emergency exit door hook was loose.
He said that when the plane landed it started moving towards the parking point. At that time we heard a small sound. Then I heard a strong wind and noise. It was really horrible.
Dapo also said that the flight crew kept blaming the passengers during this time. They even prevent us from taking pictures and videos.
A passenger named Ola Brown wrote on Twitter, "Have you ever heard a door screech throughout the flight?" It was very annoying. I thought the door screws were loose. But I never thought that the door would open like this! In a statement, Dana Air completely denied any fault with the doors.
It should be noted that earlier in 2012, a Dana Air plane crashed into a shop in Lagos. All 153 passengers on the plane were killed in the incident. Also, Nigeria's aviation safety record is not very good. Abuja Airport was closed for 6 weeks last year for major runway renovations.
