Dana Airline plane crash in Lagos is devastating to the entire nation.Gistmaster was at the scene and we saw thousands of Nigerians who came from far and near to get first hand report on what happened and the number of casualties. About 147 people were on board the aircraft at the time of the crash.Houses,which included a two storey building and a church known as End Time Chapel Ministries were badly damaged and caught in flames as the Dana Airline coming from Abuja crashed with its belly on it.

Dr.Levi Ajuonuma,the general manager in charge of media and public relations of NNPC is one of those feared dead in the Dana airline crash.

In a bid to control the crowd at the scene of the crash,men of the Nigeria Airforce brutalised several onlookers,beating them like animals.
