Reports say more than 150 people are dead after a passenger plane slammed into a two-storey building in Nigeria's largest city of Lagos.
Harold Denuren, head of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, confirmed Sunday's crash.
He said the Dana Air flight was heading from Lagos to Abuja in Nigeria. Al-Jazeera and AFP news service are reporting there were 153 passengers on board.
Federal emergency management confirmed the crash in a neighbourhood just outside the airport and said its emergency personnel were on their way to the scene.
Al-Jazeera is also saying that people on the ground believe the aircraft may have hit a power line and crashed into the building.
Photos from a local news outlet CKN showed a giant plume of smoke in the middle of a residential neighbourhood as crowds gathered around what looked like the remains of a plane.
Dana Air took to the skies in November 2008 and now operates 18 daily flights to four Nigeria cities: Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt and Uyo.
The weather in Lagos, a port city of 8 million, on Sunday was clear and sunny.

What the hell are you saying. It's horrible about this plane crash. I saw your thread and am watching news on it.
Just because you aren't getting*instant* response to your new thread, is no reason to post what you did above. Shame on on.

Are their navigation systems malfunctioning?
The Russians recently accused us of hacking their passenger plane. Maybe this is related to that somehow. Maybe the NWO needs to make sure the only airlines are American?
Maybe something with the earths magnetosphere is off? I seem to have this idea in my head that our brains are running on the same frequency as the earths pulse and maybe it is flipping? Atleast weakening. are there not stories of cosmonauts going crazy while getting closer to the edge of our protective magnetic field. Maybe all the animal die offs and beachings are related. They could be more sensitive than us.
The pilots would be more affected by this weakening magnetic field because of the higher altitude.
OR..
It was a plain plane malfunction...
