Nigeria's Super Eagles faced an unexpected mid-air scare on their journey to a critical World Cup qualifier in Uyo. Their chartered Value Jet aircraft was forced to turn back and make an emergency landing in Luanda, Angola, shortly after takeoff. The cause was a severe crack in the aircraft's windshield, which compromised an otherwise smooth flight. The players, officials, and delegates on board have all disembarked safely and are currently grounded, awaiting a swift resolution from the airline.
