KADUNA \u2013 A 10-seater aircraft\u00a0 with number\u00a0 N364 UZ, owned by Shoreline International company, crashed on a farm\u00a0 at Barakallahu, close to the National Open University Kaduna, about 4km North of Kaduna Metropolis around 12 noon yesterday killing the crew of two.<\/p>\n

Two of the crew members, a Briton and a Nigerian,\u00a0 yet to be named, were burnt to\u00a0 death in the crashed after the plane burst\u00a0 into flames thirty minutes when\u00a0 it came down. It had taken off\u00a0 a few seconds ealier\u00a0 for test-running from the Kaduna old airport..<\/p>\n

Director-General, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, Dr. Harold Demuren, who confirmed the crash, said the ill-fated aircraft was American-registered, adding that it was sold to the new owners by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, IITA, Ibadan.<\/p>\n

He said the twin-engine turboprop Beechcraft 350 aircraft was on a single pilot flight when the crash occurred.
When newsmen rushed to the site of the accident, about an hour later, but about 20 minutes before Fire Fighters arrived the scene, the\u00a0 traumatised owner of\u00a0 the farm, Mohammed Musa, told newsmen, that,\u00a0 \u201c I was\u00a0 working on the farm with my son, when I saw and\u00a0 heard the noisy sound of a plane very low and approaching the ground. Then it crashed with a bang.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ran to the plane, to see if I could rescue the occupants. I tried to break open the glass of the door with my hoe\u201d, he said. \u201cBut it was a fruitless effort as the hoe bounced back, as if I was hitting a wall. Then a soldier, who was on patrol, ran to the scene. He used the boot of his gun on the door,\u00a0 but it was also a fruitless effort. Both of us made more effort, but the door would not break open. There were two people inside.\u00a0 We could see them through the glass windows. We kept on trying, with no success.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen we notice that smoke was coming from the plane. We could see\u00a0 the two people in the plane waving frantically. The smoke was getting worse. We kept on hammering on the door. But the soldier said that we had to leave, that the plane would soon explode.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we ran back. And from were we stood, we could see them waving the more.\u00a0\u00a0 Then the plane burst into flames.\u00a0 It burnt for over an hour.\u00a0 They were long death before you people came.\u00a0 If enough help had arrived in say, 30 minutes, these people would have been alive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Another young man, who simply said he was Kevin, and a student of the Open University, told newsman what he saw.
\u201cI saw the aircraft wobbling in the air right above our school; I am surprise it did not crash there,\u201d he said,
Soon after the Fire Brigade arrived in two fire-fighting vehicles. The\u00a0 Fire men sprung\u00a0 into action and started one of the vehicles, with the other parked. But its prayed the burning plane with\u00a0 water for just a few seconds and the pumps failed. It took about five munities to get the pumps working again, to he anger of the huge crowd that had gathered to watch the tragedy.<\/p>\n

The men were cursed in the most vile words available by the thousands, but the Police secured them from getting attack by the irate crowd,<\/p>\n

After about 15 munities, the fire was put out. The plane burnt plane was cut open to get the burnt bodies out.
The Public Relations Officer of DANA, Bashir Chedi,\u00a0 the maintainers of the aircraft, told journalist\u00a0 that the plane belonged to Shoreline International Oil Company that had come for maintenance, adding that after the maintenance, it was taken for a test-run when it crashed.<\/p>\n

He said he was not competent to give technical details.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
