Lagos - Heavy seasonal rains and strong winds in

Yushau Shuaib, a spokesperson for Nigeria's
National Emergency Management Agency, said the rains had stopped searchers from
returning to the crash site near Lagos' Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
Shuaib said rescuers also were worried a three-story apartment building struck
by the MD-83 aircraft might collapse. The plane crashed on Sunday, killing all 153 people
onboard. Rescuers worry more people likely were killed on the ground.
