You may not have noticed the Nigerian plane crash over the weekend, but I sure as hell did. It was a Sosoliso Airlines plane, and I flew Sosoliso for two vaguely harrowing flights in April.
They were between Lagos and Enugu, the “Coal City State” in the southeast where I was doing some reporting on Nigerian Christianity. The planes didn’t seem particularly trustworthy; the interiors looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a while, and I seem to remember a random wire dangling unfortunately from the ceiling. Even less inspiring, the sides of the plane sported a big “Macedonian Airlines” insignia. Apparently, this plane was a castoff from Macedonia. Again, not inspiring confidence.
But hey, I survived.

and we are oh so glad you did! (but i am still waiting for an e-mail from almighty joshua!)
Actually, the first thing I thought of when I heard about the crash was YOU. You’re the only person I know who’s been anywhere even remotely near that area, so you come to mind.
