Sunday Vanguard has been informed that shortly after the crash and the hospitalisation of the initial nine survivors including, of course, Feyi, it came to light that there were strong indications just before boarding the plane that all may not have been well. Two of the survivors later died that day.
Mr. Feyi Agagu, son, survived.
According to the family insider Feyi spoke to, “the young man said that once they got to the tarmac before boarding and once he sighted the plane, what struck him was the seemingly very old look of the plane”. Continuing, the source narrated: “Feyi said he didn’t like the looks of the plane. “He also said but for the importance and significance of the trip, his inner sense didn’t feel comfortable boarding the plane.
“In fact, Feyi said he told another survivor, Femi Akinsanya, that the plane looked too old and he didn’t feel like boarding.
“ But Feyi said he was told not to get himself worked up needlessly since this was not going to be his first time aboard a plane neither would this be the first old-looking plane that he would board.
“That was how he said he boarded the plane”.
Sunday Vanguard was later made to understand that the event which transpired between Feyi Agagu and his brother-in-law, Femi Akinsanya before they boarded that plane suggested that the former may not have had anything to do with the flight arrangement for the movement of his father’s corpse to Akure, the Ondo State capital.
Sunday Vanguard was told by the source that Feyi recounted “how he and Femi Akinsanya boarded the plane and moved straight to the back end to take up seats.”
“Why Feyi chose the back seat”, the source said, “was more a function of his state of mind about the state of the plane rather than a preference for taking a back seat.
“What he also told me was that both he and Femi noticed what looked like a crack not far from where they sat at the rear end of the plane.

The ill-fated plane: The Embraer 120RT Brasilia, registration number 5N-BJY, before it crashed, Thursday.
“He said everything happened so fast that by the time the plane crashed on the ground, it was that crack that had been noticed earlier that transformed into a gapping exit point upon impact on the ground.
“Feyi said the exit point created was where he and Femi escaped through”.
Another source further revealed that most of the survivors of the crash appeared to be those seated at the rear end of the plane.
The brown coffin in which was laid the body of Agagu did not as much get destroyed despite the impact of the crash and the fatality number of 13.
More, the embalmed body of the late Agagu remained intact inside the coffin when it was opened for inspection, a source disclosed to Sunday Vanguard.
TRAGEDY—The crash scene and rescue operations.
That was not all.
The most intriguing part of the discovery was that the body of the neatly dressed Agagu who was to make a statement of sartorial flamboyance even in death (he was to be laid-in-state at a well organized reception by the Ondo State Government and his political associates) was not ruffled.
“The cap on his head stayed intact even after impact”, a source told Sunday Vanguard.
For a typically traditional society that Nigeria is, these discoveries got tongues wagging.

I have surprised why Associated should running.I had a bad experience with the airline about 3-4yrs heading to Abj from Lag. We had a bird strike on the engine propeller at point of acceleration to take off,the engine propeller cut fire,tha pilot slammed the breaks and the plane skidded for about 150ms before coming to a halt. the shocking thing l noticed was that about 30sits collapsed on the passengers (thus the sit would have failed health & Safely).It's a shame the level of corruption and playing politics with people's life (incompetence & highly level of negligence in high places
