(about 1 hour later)
Guy Deacon has written a new book about his 18,000 mile journey across Africa. A US helicopter charter company is being sued over a crash in
February that killed the former boss of Nigeria’s stock exchange, Abimbola Ogunbanjo.
He had been travelling to Las Vegas to watch
the Super Bowl when the helicopter went down in southern California.
Five others were also killed in the crash, including Herbert Wigwe, the
co-founder of Access Bank - Nigeria's largest bank.
Mr Ogunbanjo’s family are seeking compensation, including money for
funeral expenses.
In the lawsuit, filed in a US court on Wednesday, the family accuses the charter company Orbic Air LL of flying in unsuitable weather conditions.
Local police said the weather was poor, with reports of rain and
snow showers in the area.
“Helicopters do not do very well in snow and ice,” Andrew C
Robb, the lawyer representing the Ogunbanjo family, told the Associated Press
news agency.
"This flight was entirely preventable, and we don’t know
why they took off.”
He added that the family wants "answers and
accountability”.
