Passengers seem fairly nonchalant. I guess a bomb blowing a hole in your plane is a common occurrence in Somalia.
A Daallo Airlines flight made a reported emergency landing in Mogadishu, Somalia today after an onboard explosion just minutes after take-off.
The Airbus flight D3159 was traveling from Somalia to Djibouti when passengers heard a loud bang before seeing flames, according to Airlive.net.
At least two people were reported injured by the explosion which blew a large hole through the side of the aircraft. Details surrounding the incident vary, with VOA reporting the number of people injured as three and Vice News suggesting the “fire or explosion was contained on the airport’s tarmac”.
No explanation has been given for the cause of the explosion, but police are reportedly treating it as “suspicious”.
Somali-owned Daallo Airlines has its headquarters in Dubai, and appears on the EU’s most recent “list of air carriers which are banned from operating within the Union”.
Fucking savages.
I heard on the news last night that it was a bomb and that a body was found in a field that was in the plane’s flight path. Apparently it was a passenger who got sucked out of the airliner.
Flying: The safest way to travel!
Why do so many idiots who take cell phone videos not turn the phone lengthwise to get a wide view?
I guess if you live in a country where dead bodies lying about is an everyday occurrence, an explosion on your commuter flight is no big deal.
How can this airline maintain financial viability flying mostly empty seats?
alak-bar Batman, another failed suicide attack by another idiot Islamabomber gone to reap his 72 Demons in Hell and his Darwin Award. ala FUBAR & pig pieces be upon you.
Hope, it’s not a financially viable airline. It’s not a financially viable country. Think detroit. Think Afghanistan. Not viable. Never will be. But if we print a trillion dollars a year and ladle it out, they too can have new airbusses and iphones. And the profits those multi-national companies make off our backs are real, and spend just as easily as your earned dollars.
