you think it’s Hollywood?

Jet seats are ejectable dude, not just Hollywood movies!!

Monogamy:
Too bad

That crash is questionable.. Let assume the jet was faulty, the pilot should have known and eject before the jet would crash.



Fighter jet supposed to have ejection button which is separated from the plane engine.

I have seen a lot of ejection from fighter jet in destroyed in seconds... This is not about movie

Trulky jet seats are ejectable.

Secondly, only when the pilot loses control and the jet is nose diving can the pilot chose to eject, it could have exploded right in the air without much signal or warning to the pilot, I'm sure u know the kind of planes we buy in Nigeria na.

Washere!

mcdokwe:
I saw a very probable video by Boko haram shooting down the craft.

The Nigerian armed forces should learn to tell us the truth, that way they can be assured of our prayers and goodwill.

mine is how come the body was found intact if the aircraft exploded in midair according to bh video.

palsenator:



No insult intended... Okay Jet engine get. fault, the same time mechanical system also get hooked.... Both are not in anyway linked in the Jet.... The ejection is pure mechanical and not electrical.... The two faults at the same time is quite impossible bro.... The ejection is a safety caution with parachute. It's almost impossible for the two to happen at the same time. It's either the pilot was dead before the jet crashed.

my point was hypothetical, the cause of crash hasn't been released yet and I doubt if it will. The last military aircraft that crashed few weeks ago wasn't explained also which is wrong

u should ask urself "HOW OLD IS THAT JET AND HOW MANY TIMES ARE THEY MAINTAINING "bcuz as these planes gets old some features begins to malfunction

You really believe Boko haram used an RPG to bring down a jet..
Besides there was no video from Boko haram..

joey150:
The Army must release visual confirmation of the crash site if they want to truly discredit the boko haram video.

But then again, this istration has a penchant for lies and propaganda.

nedekid:

What if he is scared of heights?

lol, how on earth can someone who trained for years to become a pilot be scared of height?.am sure ur kidding us here!

Sorry for my first approach. I apologize. The Military has never been sincere in the fight against Boko Haram. They have tried to cover up so many attacks even when military outposts were overran by the insurgents, they still managed the truth. They tampered with several numbers of gallant soldiers killed by Boko Haram. This won't be different. They said they have recovered the Jet wreckages, let them show the world.... Okay Boko Haram lied but they showed us a photoshopped videos... We are waiting for the Army

Yes you are making legit point.......have seen a lot of that too. Live to be precise
Who knws Maybe the jet couldnt be well equipped to have that

Lol. Being sarcastic.

litaninja:

A fighter pilot scared of heights??

Lol

The next you will is hear is faulty engine.

yusluvad:
It's obvious they are trying hard to cover up something fishy here. May God be our shied in this failed State...

People just open their mouth and spew rubbish.
Do you even know the meaning of "failed state"?
You in the comfort of wherever you are peacefully with your phone and your not somewhere in Chad or benin as a refugee and u still call the same country a failed state.

No be your fault sha.

Soldiers are dying everyday risking their lives to keep this country together, so you can have freedom and not live in a failed state. Show some respect at least.

Dont the fools talking trash about their country.
That's exactly what the external forces trying to split this country and cause chaos want.

Waiting for the black box evidence.

This looks exactly like what happened in the Homeland series.

The way people comment here is funny. When the news broke out about the crash and book harsh claiming they shot it down, people here were saying the plane was flying so low that it was shot by RPG, but I hope you all can now see the truth about the plane's altitude[15,000 feet].

They also mentioned something about a local weapon used to bring the plane down, but the report says something about missile.

People should always be mindful of what they say.

So you want them to show you so that you would believe... Who cares...

It is not advisable to show the wreckage and the dead pilots because of the families affected and for some reasons. It's so unprofessional to release the details immediately. They have to be some investigations and analysis.

MASTAkiLLAh:
parachutes are a must for all fighter jet pilots but a precise chain of events have to happen and the pilot has only split seconds to make his decision to eject

I think most modern combat Jets no longer need for the pilots to use personal parachutes as the ejection seat come with chutes installed on them. The seats are the escape device. Once activated, a rocket device ignites, an explosive charge blows off the canopy, the seat is shot out of the aircraft and activates the parachute.

Yes, originally not all do. But quite a number have different mods over the years, so its not farfetched that older fighters still in service have been retro-fitted. It also varies from country to country. At this point, we won't know if the crashed jet had one or not. And I doubt the nigerian military would be forthcoming with the answer to that question.
lol.

SarkinYarki:


Not in the real sense ..what 4th gen and 5th gen fighters pack is CSMU ( crash survival memo unit ) which is encrypted data housed in the ejector seat so the pilot can bail with it..the reason military jets dot have regular black box is to avoid it falling into enemy hands in event of the crash ,that said I doubt if cold war era jet like the alpha has any

..I love this question.

MASTAkiLLAh:
do you know if the ejection system was also faulty ?

what you describe isn't a recent technology but I get your point. A direct hit to the cockpit can defeat the essence of any parachute.. let's just wait and hear what the government has to say though I doubt they'll say anything

Is it up to one month a military helicopter crashed in Abuja ?

This simply means these items are not being well maintained.

Viko60:

Have you been to their arsenal ?
I tell you brethren boko boys did this.
Abi this jet no get blackbox?

It’s simple if the jet was actually shot down there would be a wide spread of the debris in that area and not just at the crash site. Portions of the jet wud have dismantled and fallen Sm where else from the crash site.

Showing wreckages doesn't necessarily mean they should show the bodies Ogbeni... The Abuja crash that involved top military officers were shown without their bodies....

you think it’s Hollywood?

It's not about Hollywood, it's a normal thing for fighter jet to have evacuation botton.

MASTAkiLLAh:

Such system are usually 99 percent efficient and they are usually redundant.
It's very unlikely for an ejection system to fail even the the plane engine fail

Viko60:


Yes, most military aircraft, including fighter aircraft, are equipped with a "black box" called flight data recorder (FDR) / crash survivable memory unit (CSMU) / integrated monitoring and recording system (IMRS) / deployable flight incident recorder set

Brother, don't mind that guy. FDR / CSMU / IMRS and other incident recorder must be in fighter aircraft. The information may be encrypted to avoid decryption if it falls into enemy territories. The timing given has not been accurate. The initial information was that the aircraft was off radar around 1800hrs Nigeria time (GMT + 1). The ETD quoted in some quarters was around 1700 or 1708hrs. I believed the plane crashed about 5 minutes or 10 minutes after takeoff. Within that short time, it was not possible for Boko Haram to have the images of an exploded jet mid air and a descending burnt jet coming down. Also, if Boko Haram was responsible, they would have announced to the world immediately after the incident to celebrate a victory. The will never wait for NAF to announce a jet missing off radar and also waited for hours for NAF to announce that the jet could not be found and that anything could have happened. It was after the last information that Boko Haram came up with images followed by video.

The February crash happened few minutes after takeoff when the Pilots observed a fatal technical failure and made efforts to return . There must have been a fatal technical failure also in this case. The report of the crashed plane found at Bama with the corpse of the other pilot found intact while Flight Lieutenant Abolarinwa body is not found demands for a suspicion. This is because in one of the propaganda images released by Boko Haram, the body of Flight Lieutenant Abolarinwa was shown.

There are different possibilities around this incident. I will narrate them later.

They just finished the photoshop cookup
