Bellview Airlines Flight 210, a scheduled domestic flight from Lagos to Banjul, Gambia, met a tragic fate shortly after departing from Murtala Muhammed International Airport. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-200, took off at 11:55 PM local time but lost contact with air traffic control within minutes of departure. Eyewitnesses reported seeing the plane climbing before it abruptly descended, but specific details of the flight’s final moments remain unclear. Despite immediate efforts from the airline and local authorities, it became evident that all 117 passengers, including 115 on the plane and 2 crew members, perished in the incident. Recovery teams rapidly mobilized to locate the wreckage, which was ultimately found in the Ajao estate, a residential area near the airport. The investigation later revealed that adverse weather conditions, including heavy rains and thunderstorms, were present at the time of the takeoff. Several families were affected, and the event drew significant media attention both in Nigeria and internationally. The disaster sparked widespread grief among the Nigerian population and raised questions regarding aviation safety protocols in the Nigerian airline industry. Audits were conducted in the ensuing months to address the underlying issues concerning crash preparedness and emergency response within regional airlines. The crash also prompted calls for improved regulation and oversight of airlines operating in and out of Nigeria to enhance passenger safety. As a result of the tragedy, there was a renewed focus on aviation safety, which included the establishment of stricter guidelines and the pursuit of better training for flight crews to prevent similar occurrences.
