Plane Crash In Nigeria Kills At Least 13
The death toll is still in flux, with Reuters reporting that 15 people died. The Associated Airlines plane was making a short domestic flight within Nigeria.
The crash might have been caused by engine failure. Shortly after take-off, the plane fell from the air and burst into flames, according to BBC. It crashed into land within the airport complex.
Nigeria has a history of major plane crashes.
Just last year, 163 people died when a plane crashed into an apartment building in Lagos.
