More Deaths Feared in Nigeria Crash

Plane went down in residential area.

A plane crash that claimed the lives of all 153 passengers Sunday outside a Nigerian airport may have caused deaths on the ground as well, rescue workers said Monday. “The fear is that since it happened in a residential area, there may have been many people killed,” said National Emergency Management Agency spokesman Yushau Shuaib. While the cause of the crash is not yet clear, emergency workers continued to comb through the debris Monday in the neighborhood where the plane went down and are reported to have recovered 48 bodies. The plane slammed into an area packed with businesses and residential buildings near Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Sunday afternoon.
