RIP to everyone on that plane.

One thing I always joke with my friends is my love for flying DANA because of their choice for fair and pretty babes as air hostesses.

Twice I intentionally delayed my flight just to fly DANA air to look at those beautiful faces.

Woooow!!! Really speechless.

May their soul Rest in Peace.

seeing those pictures just drives it home. It really could be any one of us. Scary how little control we actually have over life. RIP

this is scary chai !!!!!!!!

alj harem: this is scary chai !!!!!!!!

Alhaji, you never cross? Alhamdulilahi.

Seeing these realy send down some creepy thoughts! Life is Short, let's all live for God!

It doesn't seem like the emergency service responded to the incident scene.All i could see there are members of the public dangerously trying ro help and some probably looking for what they can savage from the dead.

How will they be able to investigate what happened when they have allowed the members of the public to contaminate the crash scene?Incidents like this always show the chaotic nature of nigeria to the world.Lack of organisation,lack of order and gross inefficiency of the system.

na wa for this country

in tears

Still in mourning

RIP

HISTORY OF THE MCDONNELL DOUGLAS MD SERIES ,THE PLANE DANA AIR USES:
MD-83 timeline■Announced/go-ahead: January 31, 1983.
■First flight: December 17, 1984.
■FAA certification: October 17, 1985 (MTOW 149,500 lb (67,800 kg)). MTOW of 160,000 lb (73,000 kg) certificated November 4, 1985.
■First delivery: February, 1985 to Alaska Airlines - initially as -82 powered by -217A engines and certificated as MD-82s. Alaska Airlines' first four aircraft were subsequently re-engined and re-certificated as MD-83s.
■Entry into service: February, 1985 with Alaska Airlines.
■Last delivery: December 28, 1999 to TWA.
As of November 2009, the MD-80 series has been involved in 61 incidents,[27] including 29 hull-loss accidents,[28] with 1,330 fatalities.[29]

[edit] Notable accidents and incidents■On December 1, 1981, an Inex-Adria Aviopromet Flight 1308, an MD-81 crashed into Corsica's Mt. San Pietro during a holding pattern for landing at Campo dell'Oro Airport, Ajaccio. All 180 passengers and crew were killed.
■On August 16, 1987, Northwest Airlines Flight 255, an MD-82 crashed shortly after takeoff from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport due to flight crew's failure to use the taxi checklist to ensure the flaps and slats were extended for takeoff according to the NTSB. All crew and passengers were killed with the exception of a 4-year old girl, Cecelia Cichan.[30]
■On December 27, 1991, SAS Flight 751, an MD-81, OY-KHO "ana Viking" crash landed at Gottröra, Sweden. In the initial climb both engines ingested ice broken loose from the wings (which had not been properly de-iced before departure). The ice damaged the compressor blades causing compressor stall. The stall further caused repeated engine surges that finally destroyed both engines, leaving the aircraft with no propulsion. The aircraft landed in a snowy field and broke in three parts. No fire occurred and all aboard survived.
■On June 1, 1999, American Airlines Flight 1420, an MD-82 attempting to land in severe weather conditions at Little Rock Airport overshot the runway and crashed into the banks of the Arkansas River. Eleven people, including the captain, died.
■On January 31, 2000, Alaska Airlines Flight 261, an MD-83, crashed in the Pacific Ocean, due to loss of horizontal stabilizer control.[31] All 88 people on board were killed. Following the crash, the acme nut and jackscrew recovered from the aircraft were found to be excessively worn[32] and found to be the cause of the crash due to inadequate maintenance. The FAA ordered airlines to inspect and lubricate the jackscrew more frequently.[33]
■On October 8, 2001, Scandinavian Airlines Flight 686, an MD-87 (SE-DMA) collided with a small Cessna jet during take-off at Linate Airport, Milan, Italy. The Linate Airport disaster left 118 people dead. The cause of the accident was a misunderstanding between air traffic controllers and the Cessna jet, and the SAS crew had no role in causing the accident. Also the ground movement radar was inoperative at the time of the accident.
■On May 7, 2002, China Northern Airlines Flight 6136, an MD-82, from Beijing to Dalian, crashed into Bohai Bay near Dalian, after the pilot reported "fire on board". All 111 people on board were killed.
■On November 30, 2004, Lion Air Flight 538, an MD-82 crash landed at Adi Sumarmo Airport in Surakarta and overran the end of the runway. There were 25 fatalities.
■On August 16, 2005, West Caribbean Airways Flight 708, an MD-82 crashed in a mountainous region in northwest Venezuela killing all 152 passengers and eight crew.[34]
■On March 4, 2006, Lion Air Flight 8987, an MD-82, after landing at Juanda International Airport, applied reverse thrust although the reversers were stated to be out of order. This caused the aircraft to veer to the right and skid off the runway coming to rest 7,000 ft (2,100 m) from the approach end of Runway 10. No one was killed, but the aircraft sustained $3 million in damage.[35]
■On September 16, 2007, One-Two-GO Airlines Flight 269, an MD-82 crashed at the side of the runway and exploded after an apparent attempt to execute a go-around in bad weather at Phuket International Airport. Eighty-nine of the 130 people on board were killed.[36][37]
■On November 30, 2007, Atlasjet Flight 4203, a MD-83 crashed in the southwestern province of Isparta, Turkey, killing all 57 people aboard.[38] The cause of the crash was attributed to pilot spatial disorientation.
■Between March 26/27, 2008 and then again between April 8/12, 2008 an FAA safety audit of American Airlines forced the airline to ground its entire fleet of MD-80 series aircraft (approximately 300), to inspect the aircraft's hydraulic wiring. American was forced to cancel nearly 2,500 flights in March and over 3,200 in April.[39] In addition, Delta Air Lines inspected its own MD-80 fleet to ensure its 117 MD-80s were also operating within regulation. This prompted Delta to cancel 275 flights.[40]
■On August 20, 2008, Spanair Flight 5022, an MD-82 registration EC-HFP from Madrid's Barajas Airport crashed shortly after takeoff on a flight to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands. The MD-82 had 162 passengers and ten crew on board, of whom 18 survived. The crash was caused by attempting to take off with the flaps and slats retracted. The flight crew omitted the "set flaps and slats" item in both the After Start checklist and the Takeoff Imminent checklist.[41]
■On November 19, 2009, Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation Flight 3711, operated by MD-82 9Q-CAB overran the runway on landing at Goma International Airport, and suffered substantial damage. The overrun area was contaminated by solidified lava.[42]
■On 21 June 2010, Hewa Bora Airways Flight 601, operated by MD-82 9Q-COQ burst a tire on take-off from N'djili Airport, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Hydraulic systems and port engine were damaged and the nose gear did not lower when the aircraft returned to N'djili. All 110 people on board escaped uninjured. The airline blamed the state of the runway for the accident, but investigators found no fault with the runway.[43]
■On 3 June 2012, Dana Air Flight 997, operated by McDonnell Douglas MD-83 commercial airliner crashed into a two-story building in Nigeria's largest city of Lagos. The plane had 147 passengers on board. No one on board survived. The incident is still under investigation. The plane has been deemed destroyed.

It is so sad when you start putting a face to the tragedy
Rest in peace

Please the pilot (Jason Obodo Ameachi) whose picture shows below is not dead but alive. I just spoke with him this morning. You can even go to his facebook page (Jason Obodo) and see for yourself.

People should stop using his picture as a victim on their bb and facebook page.

Thanks

Shyt happens

for those blaming GEJ, when did GEJ become naigeria aeronautic safety engineer?

This picture is from the Bauchi church blast not Dana please.
