Many are talking about the video
Reacting, Lexy Pexy on Facebook said:
"Was the Pilot sleeping o distracted? We need to know"
Salam Timmy commented:
"May be there was hold up or go slow and he tried to take a shoulder part of the terminal like Ibadan Micra used to do."
Odeyemi Oluwole said:
"This is really laughable. I guess the pilot got distracted. But then we are all human, we do get carried away sometime. Imagine using shovels and diggers to free a 747."
