A Boeing 777-360ER converted cargo plane operated by Ethiopian Airlines skidded off the taxiway after landing at Lagos-Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS), in Nigeria.
The aircraft, registered ET-ASL, had just operated cargo flight ET3905 from Addis Ababa-Bole Airport (ADD) in Ethiopia. As it was taxiing to the apron, the plane skidded off the taxiway and its left-hand main landing gear sunk in the mud.
