(CBS/AP) LAGOS, Nigeria - An aviation official says that all passengers on board the plane that
crashed in Nigeria's largest city have been killed. Nigeria's Civil Aviation Authority Harold Denuren
confirmed that all the passengers on Sunday's Dana Air flight died. He did not say how many were on
the flight. However, the Lagos state government said in a statement that 153 people were on the flight
going from Abuja to Lagos.
The plane crashed in a densely-populated neighborhood near the airport.
A spokesman for Nigeria's national emergency management agency said there were likely more casualties
on the ground, but the number was unknown.
Several thousand gathered at the site as firefighters tried to put out flames and carry out survivors.
Yushau Shuaib, spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency, said they were still trying to
get an official manifest on the flight. Sometimes flights in Nigeria issue paper tickets and don't record all
passengers via computer.
