Nigeria plane crash kills at least 103

A NIGERIAN jetliner carrying 110 people - including dozens of school children - crashed in stormy weather yesterday as it approached the southern city of Port Harcourt, killing at least 103 who were on board.

It was Nigeria’s second major airplane accident in seven weeks, raising questions about air safety in Africa’s most populous nation.

Charred bodies and pieces of the wrecked plane were strewn around the disaster site, where rescue workers found only seven survivors who were rushed to an area hospital, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority spokesman Sam Adurogboye said.
