Plane crashes in mock rescue exercises


March 13, 2010

In Niger Delta city of Port Harcourt, what was supposed to be a mock rescue exercise turned into a real plane crash.

The crash occurred just off the runway after landing at 12:13 p.m. The plane, an Air Force G22, was carrying more than 30 NEMA workers when it crashed, leaving only two injured.

The aircraft was definitely severely damaged. No other details were given about this plane crash.

MY REACTION: This was scary; it must have been terrifying for the people on the plane. If I was in their shoes, I would have been extremely in shock. Also, there is some irony in this article- what was supposed to be a mock rescue exercise actually turned into a plane crash.
