Bellview Airline Website Crash

“On October 22, 2005, Bellview Airlines Flight 210, a Boeing 737 aircraft with 117 people on board, crashed shortly after taking off from Lagos en route to the Nigerian capital Abuja. Early reports from Oyo state government officials claimed that at least half of those on board survived the crash, but later retracted that statement saying that that “the latest reports coming to us say that all the people on the plane died.” Confusion at the crash site was given as a cause for the mistaken figure. CNN reports that poor weather may have contributed to the crash. The crash inquiry is being aided by officials from Boeing and the United States National Transportation Safety Board. The flight data recorders have not yet been recovered, though pieces of their casing have been found. Angus Ozoka, a Nigerian official leading the crash investigation, said he believes the recorders were destroyed in the impact. Bellview resumed flights on October 24, 2005″. - Wikipedia

About a month later in there was an emergency landing in Kotoka International Airport in Ghana, which resulted to a license revocation by a aviation task force. Though Bellview has been re-authorized and have since resumed flight operations, the management may have learnt their lessons, but definately not the Web Developers. I noticed the error below on their website, this is so unprefessional for an airline company.

Microsoft VBScript runtime error ‘800a01a8′
Object required: ”
/fares/domestic.asp, line 516

This is an error output from the ASP programming language. It shows the airline’s webstie is on a windows server, there seems to be a file called domestic.asp in a folder called ‘fares’. This is a potential message for an hacker to crash the website, and maybe lose their online reservation license once again?

    Well, perhaps when their license is permanently revoked and banned for two years, they will check up.

    I remember we were doing something for them around 2005 and Kayode Odukoya (CEO) was just asking for too much with the token he wanted to pay. At the middle of the project the direct contractor was having problem with both CEO and myself, the developer and the solution was not deployed even when it was 90% completed. The man just got angry and I learnt he gave the job to his brother even at a higher($9800). That’s Nigeria for you. Infact, the project crashed my laptop.
