Delta Airlines Lagos to Atlanta flight makes unscheduled stop in Senegal


A Delta Airlines flight going from Lagos to Atlanta yesterday June 9th was diverted to Dakar Senegal after a threat was detected on board the flight. A passenger who tweeted about the incident said another passenger on board seemed to have smuggled a bag of dynamite on the plane.

Speaking about the diversion, Delta Airlines Director Corporate Communications, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Olivia Cullis, said the flight was diverted to Dakar for “precautionary reasons”...
"Delta flight DL55 from Lagos to Atlanta diverted to Dakar, Senegal for precautionary reasons. After a short stop, the flight resumed to the United States. The safety and security of our passengers and crew is our number one priority.” She explained.

Reaction from some of the passengers on board : 

- I was on this flight.. crazy stuff. we could'nt figure out what was going on in the back. but i knew the crew was too calm for it not to be something crazy!


-Delta is denying an attack, calling it electrical faults. me and my seat partner were asked by one of the flight attendants if we were going to be able to assist in the event of an emergency. Electrical faults huh? all the passengers deplaned, our luggage brought out and rechecked, and a complete plane sweep done for an electrical fault? oh besides we continued on the same plane to San Juan and the Atl, and that plane headed to Houston afterwards. That same plane is heading back to lagos tonight! electrical faults huh? only God can save us unsuspecting individuals. These companies are about their business and making their money! thats all
