The last Thursday’s crash of an Embraer 120 plane conveying the remains of former Ondo State governor, Dr Olusegun Agagu, to his home state which killed 15 of the 20 people on board has been traced to human error.

A report by the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) on Friday indicated that pilot error might have been the probable cause of the crash, but the bureau said it was yet to conclude investigations on the crash.

AIB in its preliminary report on the accident presented to journalists in Abuja said that investigations revealed that the aircraft was already faulty before the cockpit crew decided to embark on the journey.

According to the report, the captain in command, Captain Abdulraham Yakubu, insisted that the crew must continue with the journey even when the co-pilot suggested that the flight should be aborted.

The aircraft crashed exactly 31 seconds after take off from the runway.

Is it not possible that the Pilot was suicidal?

I am just wondering,if the Co-Pilot notices that an Aircraft is faulty and the Captain insists on flying,cant the Co-Pilot disembark or if he cannot,cant he get in touch with a higher authority at the Airport to stop the Captain from flying.This system of things needs a total overhauling.R.I.P Mr.Co-Pilot,other Co-Pilots should learn from this and stand their ground when dealing with arrogant Captains,life has no duplicate.
