Dana Air Flight 992

Dana Air Flight 992 was a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 aircraft making a scheduled commercial passenger flight from Abuja to Lagos, Nigeria. On Sunday, 3 June 2012, the aircraft crashed into a furniture works and printing press building in the Iju-Ishaga neighbourhood of Lagos. The crash, believed to have been caused by dual engine failure and subsequent forced landing,[2] resulted in the deaths of all 153 people on board, as well as approximately ten deaths and an unknown number of injuries to people on the ground.[3] It is the the second-deadliest aviation accident involving a McDonnell Douglas MD-80, behind Inex-Adria Flight 1308, and the second-deadliest on Nigerian soil, behind the Kano air disaster.
