A cargo aircraft belonging to Hydro Air Cargo, Boeing 747-258C, ZS-OOS
crashed in Lagos on 28 November 2003. Conflicting reports say that
this was a take-off accident not a landing accident. Kindly confirm.
No information available from SACAA. Current local information to hand
indicates that co-pilot was not rated on the 747. Can you provide the
names of the pilots? |

Dear marelena1-ga,
I have found information which answers the first part of your
question. It consists of two news articles and a web site specialising
in reporting air accidents. They all provide a similar, fairly
detailed report. As the accident was only recent, I believe the
investigators are still conducting their inquiry. It would appear the
main thrust of the investigation is: why was the aircraft was on a
closed runway when the accident happened?
Despite extensive searching I have been unable able to establish the
name of the pilots.
Would the above information answer your question? Or do you wish
another researcher to try?

the names of the pilots. As far as I know one or maybe both were
slightly injured.

Hello again marelena1
Interestingly the number of crew on board at the time varies from 4,
7, and 9 although the majority of reports say 9 crew members were on
board.
"Two weeks ago, a crew of four landing at Lagos, Nigeria, were cleared
to use a runway where construction vehicles were parked. The ensuing
crash ripped a wing off the Boeing 747 cargo jet although the crew
survived."

"All seven crew members survived the incident while the aircraft was landing"

"OCCUPANTS: 9 crew"
