A passenger plane with about 150 people on board has crashed into buildings in a densely populated district of Nigeria's main city of Lagos.

Nigeria's Civil Aviation Authority said there were no survivors on board the Dana Air plane. The cause of the crash is not yet known.

Thousands of onlookers gathered at the crash site as rescue services searched the rubble for survivors.

President Goodluck Jonathan has declared three days of mourning.

The plane crashed in Iju neighbourhood, just north of the airport. It is not yet clear how many people may have died on the ground.


Black smoke billowed at the crash scene
TV pictures showed chaotic scenes as crowds swarmed the crash site, some helping pass along hoses to douse the smoking wreckage.

How insightful.

I know, fucking wonderful.

Okay I'll share my thoughts. It's a horrible sad thing and it's really lucky that the building was empty or the casualty number could be double or triple what it is. I like how the residents are trying to help any way they can despite the military trying to stop them. Is that good enough for you?
