 You're welcome back to the breakfast and plus TV Africa for today in history. We'll have the story of a third worst air crash in history and it occurred today, August the 3rd 1975. Now on this day in history there was a chattered boy in 707 aircraft. He was carrying immigrant Moroccans from France, their family in Morocco, when unfortunately it crashed into the mountain side in heavy fog early Sunday and all 188 people on board died. Like I mentioned it was a third worst disaster in civil aviation history and what happened to that plane was that when it crashed it immediately exploded and burned you know in a tiny village you know just that was two minutes before it was expected to land at the airport you know in southern Morocco. It was just a very terrible day in history. The news was awash with stories about this how this plane was supposed to arrive at 4 30 p.m. a.m. but the plane crash occurred at 4 28 just terrible. Really sad and this is in 1975 you know and so you know it makes me start to wonder you know how much more has been you know put into aircraft investigation and being able to you know make air travel safer generally. We've of course still remember the MH370 which I would always mention and you know a couple of other times when there have been you know similar disasters it's very important you know that work continues and you know the development of air travel continues to ensure that we reduce to its barest minimum the possibilities of air crashes. The sad thing is when this happened with this Boeing 707 aircraft they stopped production of this particular plane because of all the defects that occurred and then they began to sell it to carriers in the third world countries you know and selling them as well as one million dollars why does our people you know buy abandoned you know aircraft aircraft that have been involved in accidents and have been deemed unsafe for their people they sell it to us we you know so these things really because we don't make ours it's pretty simple you know if you make yours you know you don't need to buy you know when would Nigeria begin to make airplanes yeah right because that we make we know the popular brand how many Nigerians patronize them so when it seems like a tall order well would it be in our lifetime let's first of all survive COVID-19 and the NAROD strike we'll make cars and airplanes later let's go back to 1949 and this is of course the day that the NBA was formed it is currently one of the biggest sports in you know in in the world and it was a merger between two bodies that were of course in existence before that came together on this day to form the NBA on the 3rd of August in 1949 after of course a really really damaging three-year battle to win both players and fans a rival basketball association of America which is called BAA and the national basketball league nbl marriage to form the national basketball association the new NBA was made up of 17 teams that represented both small towns and large cities across the country and through the 50s the number of teams dwindled along with the fan support by 1954 to 1955 season only eight teams remained the league then transformed the game with the creation of the 24 second clock making play faster pace and more fun to watch and of course was created at that time by three corporations it claims the NBA rather claims the BAA's history as its own and considers the 1949 deal as an expansion not a merger today the NBA attracts players and millions of fans from countries around the world and the whole planet it's currently like I said one of the biggest games on the planet and of course currently I think currently has about 30 teams are playing in it including Milwaukee box yeah we can take a break here all right we'll come back to you with the state of security in Nigeria especially in the light of what occurred in plateau state over the weekend to stay with us
