At least 74 people are dead after a Nigerian airliner on a domestic flight crashed into buildings in the northern city of Kano. But at least two of those aboard, a female crew member and a male passenger, survived. The BAC 1-11-500 aircraft hit a densely populated residential area, flattening homes. The death toll is expected to rise. Ibrahim Ado said the EAS Airlines (Executive Airline Services) plane had just taken off from the Kano airport en route to Lagos in southwest Nigeria when it crashed in the neighborhood of Gwammaja. Local media reports said 105 were aboard but later a Federal Aviation Authority officials told Reuters the plane was carrying 69 passengers and seven crew -- 76 in all.
