A teaser:
A Nigerian jetliner filled with schoolchildren going home for Christmas crashed Saturday while landing during a lightning storm in this delta oil port. At least 103 people were killed, officials said.
A spokesman for President Olusegun Obasanjo called the disaster "a national tragedy."
Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority spokesman Sam Adurogboye said early reports indicated that seven people survived the crash of the Sosoliso Airlines' McDonnell Douglas DC-9. Flight 1145 left the capital, Abuja.
"They were breathing and were taken to the hospital. They are responding to treatment," he said.
He did not say if the survivors were passengers or crew members. [/end teaser]
