If you have never missed a flight you may not understand the feeling when someone is told that it is impossible to board a plane that is about to take off. Civil Aviation Boss in Nigeria Mr Benedict Adeyileka caused a commotion at MMIA Lagos when he was told that he could not board an Abuja bound Arik flight .He saw that the plane was about to take off and drove into the tarmac and attempted to use his vehicle to block the take off. It was said that he succeeded in aborting the take off, after all he is the director of the Civil Aviation Authority.. The funny part of the story is that after the drama, he decided not to continue with the journey.
The passengers could not contain their annoyance. Anyway a warning was issued immediately that nobody should ever try that act of bravado at home or at any other airport for that matter even if it is your private plane taking off from your private airport.. That the pilot did not hit the vehicle will qualify as a kind of miracle.
