At this point, the license of the airline (Dana Air) has been suspended. None of their planes are flying.

i didn't mean that mechanical failure is not serious. it is good to know that Dana Air has been suspended until they find out what caused the crash. i did not hear if the pilots survived or if all on board were killed. i know investigations into crashes take some time so we might not know for awhile.
i have watched a show several times about airplane crashes and the show re-enacts what causes the planes to crash. the name of the show escapes me right now, but they are able to learn what failed on most aircraft or if it was pilot error or weather related and fix the problem if it was mechanical failure. sometimes, it can be one small thing that can bring a plane and all of its passengers down. i don't think they were having bad weather when the plane crashed in nigeria and i haven't heard of how many people lost their lives on the ground.

they do seem to feed on attention and since this plane crash did overshadow their latest act of terrorism, i pray they won't plan a new attack soon.
Unfortunately they most likely will since at least one church per month has been attacked for quite a long time now, their goal is to make it unto a religious war between muslims and christians.
