Dana Air Flight 0992 was a scheduled Nigerian domestic passenger flight from Abuja to Lagos, Nigeria. On 3 June 2012, the McDonnell Douglas MD-83 aircraft serving the route suffered a dual-engine failure during its approach to Lagos. It failed to reach its intended destination and crashed onto buildings, killing all 153 people on board and six on the ground. With 159 deaths, it remains as the deadliest commercial airliner crash in Nigerian history since the Kano air disaster in 1973.

Thank you for doing a video on Dana Flight 0992. I’ve been both intrigued and simultaneously mortified by this relatively avoidable disaster. Captain Waxtan lost thrust in an engine of his MD83 5N-RAM and didn’t think ATC needed to know about this - and to my horror, critically didn’t bother with any checklists as the failures unfolded, until it was way too late.
The First Officer clearly had some foreboding of a possible unsavoury ending to this flight and wisely suggested maintaining a high altitude until they were very close to Lagos airspace - shockingly, Captain Waxtan didn’t seem to get it. Furthermore, those wheels shouldn’t have been dropped until they were much closer to the airport - they lost a lot of altitude due to drag from those wheels.
A wise captain would have entertained the possibility of the 2nd engine malfunctioning during the flight, and upon the first sign of loss of thrust, should have made a beeline for the nearest airport available.
At that point, human lives were more valuable than any loss of profit for Dana Air - or indeed, loss of face for the incompetent Captain of the flight.
So many lives lost that day due to sheer unbridled incompetence on a mind boggling scale.
Ultimately, the drive for cheap aircraft engine maintenance via the Millennium maintenance contractor was the primary catalyst for this disaster.
RIP to all the lost passengers and crew who didn’t deserve to have their lives cut short in such a terrifying manner.
"The Smartest Way to Fly" with the dumbest captain you can find.
Saudi’s Flight 163 was worse. Truly dumb crew. The three stooges if you will. Complete bozos
I think they need to find another slogan...
1) Did I read that slogan right? “The smartest way to fly”?
2) Famous last words: “The pilots decided that the problem didn’t require diverting to the nearest airport.”
I remember this one and always asked why was an American pilot flying this thing and then it came out that his record was so bad he should have been grounded for good but Dana Air took a chance on him and hired him. The plane had a history of engine problems which finally got worse. Horrific loss of life in this crash.
What do you mean by why an American was flying this aircraft?
@ns8583 it is a little bit unusual (probably not uncommon within the pilot industry) but the reprimands etc found after make it much clearer why in this case he was with Dana
@@jyralnadreth4442 well in most cases outside the US or UK, most of these expat Americans or British working overseas are less qualified and get paid big money just because of their passports. Not something new if you look at middle east...
@@ns8583 -- probably because the question is why the American pilot is not flying for an American airline. Apparently Captain Waxton really wanted to fly airplanes.
@@toddb930 true... Maybe he wanted to fly and chose the best option
Please do a video on the January 2001 crash with the Oklahoma State University basketball team (OSU). There were 2 planes with Players. One went down along with the sportscaster. Poor visibility due to snow storm I believe. I live in Oklahoma City and REALLY want you to do this. I love your videos! Thank you.
Allec did it again - excellent video!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
RIP
To the passengers and crew of Dana Air Flight 0992 and six people on the ground
A poorly maintained plane, a captain that shouldn't have been flying, not following proper procedures when the problem started and a rather inexperienced FO. What could possibly go wrong?
Hot tip: If you're on the down low and don't want to be discovered, go through the check lists so you can land safely.
The actual checklist too, not memory checklist
Those poor people , may they rest in peace . 😪🙏
This was the second worst crash that even happened in Nigeria : all the 153 on board plus 6 on the ground (the aircraft landed on a building). The worst one happened in 1973, it was the Kano air disaster which killed 176. Given Dana 0992 didn't happen that long ago, it's obvious a lot of aviation lessons still weren't taught.
Heard from an airline pilot friend who flew for a couple of small regional airlines in India. They paid him handsomely because there aren't many qualified "foreign" senior pilots who are willing to fly for them. The stories he told were nuts - lots of single engine, transponder flicking on/off on a particular plane never got fixed, radios patched up with old spare parts swapped from somewhere, faulty instruments, etc. The owner of the airline was filthy rich yet cheap at the same time. He bailed after like 9 months.
Exciting like the old days
I can’t believe some people. They’d rather save money for their greedy asses than keep people comfortable or safe.
Guess you and your pilot friend haven't heard about Boeing
@@ns8583 I guess that was when Boeing was still good
@@ns8583 not sure how you'd be able to tell which type of aircraft my friend flew. Hint: it's not a light-airframe.
Astonishing incompetence that you’d expect would result in criminal charges.
Ending with raising the landing gear and retracting the flaps... when you're trying to land with no engine thrust.
@AllecJoshuaIbay Thank you for making these videos. They are very informative, and I enjoy watching and learning something new. Please keep up the good work. 👨🏼✈️🧑🏽✈️🛫🛩️🛬
The gaping holes in the Swiss cheese lined up very easily.
Ive heard stories both relating to captain waxtan and the engine- and it just makes me realise how bloody shitty dana air is.
Fleet size of 8, 4 incidents and/or accidents. Airline for the suicidal.
Someone said this in a different video about Dana Air 992:
DANA: Dangerous And Not Airworthy
And I couldn't agree more
WHY would you retract the landing gear and flaps when you're trying to land with no engine thrust?
To minimized drag I would guess
Yes, they needed speed to reach the airport but full flaps and gear down reduced the speed quickly, I think they made big mistakes.
Maybe not “the smartest way to fly” 😳
Should have been the title beside deadly culture
I still cannot understand why so many pilots continue to not follow the procedures, when so many accidents have happened in the past due to negligence. Why do they not learn from mistakes?
That’s just human nature. If humans were good at learning from past mistakes then the world would be very different place.
I was asking myself why the gear wasn't being retracted and the flap setting changed as soon as the second engine went down.
They needed stretch the glide to reach the airport.
@@camillabrifjord727 That is exactly why the gears should have been retracted and flaps up.
This was a case of a small airline that took accountability of hiring a pilot who was not up-to-par with his flying and also not properly inspecting the engines of their MD-80 fleet. The engine problems this airplane had in flight, led to a fatal crash landing, because the pilots were not taking the necessary steps to avoid it. The other case that had similar engine issues, had a couple of pilots in that cockpit that communicated properly and landed their airplane safely. It's a shame it came down to this tragedy to happen, where it could've actually been avoided. RIP to all onboard.✝️🙏
Flew with this captain when he was at Spirit. Hes in my logbook but dont remember the guy at all, so nothing he did must have stood out. He ended up getting fired from Spirit because on arrival into St Thomas, his FO was pilot flying. Somewhat last minute the FO tried to hand control over to CA Waxton as he was uncomfortable and unfamiliar with STT. CA refused to take control. Sure enough, FO had a hard landing (enough to require an inspection). As if this wasn’t bad enough, the CA waited to write up the hard landing until they flew one more leg back to FLL. Obviously Spirit viewed this as gross negligence and canned him.
Dana Air - “The Smartest Way to Fly & the Deadliest Way to Land!”
There is also reason why pilots should be hired based on their merits (any previous experience or weaknesses).
As Disaster Breakdown says,"it's a Florida man's trouble"
The "smartest way to fly"? Shaking my head over that one.
Prime example of the Swiss cheese model right here ladies, gentlemen, and nonbinary friends.
"The Smartest Way to Fly" !! The Deadliest Way to Fly" . Once I saw Lagos as the destination I knew this would end up badly .
The word deadly in the title told me right away that it wouldn't have a good outcome.
Was the aircraft repaired and returned to service?
Why were the flaps and landing gear retracted during its approach to the runway?
They saw his flight hours and assumed he was good to go.
Yeah. Or whatever he wrote down.
@@jonathanwpressman he wouldn’t DARE falsify his log book! The horror! 🙀 Sounds like he’s the type who would have no qualms doing so!
@@stephenbritton9297 I am shocked. Shocked.
Bloody hell....flaunting the danger or what? You loose an engine on a 2 engine aircraft, thats a pretty major thing not to alert ATC, engineers too. I'm not even a pilot at any level and I would have been doing anything and everything to ensure my passengers made it off the plane alive and well
So you're saying that civilians have more common sense here than the involved commercial pilots. I agree.
Wow this is kinda like West Caribbean Airways flight 708 crashes in the ground killing everyone on board but Turkish airlines flight 1951 crashed in the ground but some of them on board were killed and survived but with injuries
Well, that depends on multiple factors, such as the trajectory of the crash and the environment and the surroundings.
I find it remarkable, but not surprising that an individual would choose to put himself, his crew and passengers at risk because of incompetence. Some airlines background checks seem to be questionable at best and criminal at worst. When the majority of people sit in the back of the plane, they’re rarely thinking about who’s flying the aircraft.
If you fly a main line carrier in the USA you are safe. With anyone else you are taking a chance.
At 2:49 “the first officer declines and states that their current descent rate is effective in maintaining altitude” 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤔🤔🙄🙄🤷🏻♂️Maintaining altitude, in my English, means keep the airplane at the same altitude, how is a descent rate “effective” in doing that?🤔🤔🤔🤯🤯
I do want to inquire, why did the right engine fail
The fuel manifolds were incorrectly installed on both engines, resulting in the flow of fuel being constrained then eventually cut off, due to a fuel pipe fracture - caused by the incorrectly installed fuel manifolds.
@@datathunderstorm Well Said !
How many casualties on the ground?
Someone else said 6.
Reason #32...why I won't fly. Those people didn't stand a chance with a poorly maintained plane & a captain that shouldn't have been flying. 🙁
If you're in the United States, you're safer in an airplane than you are in your own bathroom, which is itself vastly safer than your car.
Certain places outside the US it's not so great, of course.
I fly a lot - just not with airlines like "Dana Air." As long as you're not on some 3rd World airline, flying is the safest way to travel (but you know that already).
A plane crash is totally different from a car crash. Cars are safer now & a crash doesn't kill hundreds of people. You have no control of the situation. I've dodged car crashes, what are you going to do when your plane is falling out of the sky. Nope...if I can't get there by car, bus, train or boat...I ain't going.
I've lost several family members and friends from traffic accidents. The most recent fatalities were in 2018, when a mother, her daughter, and the daughter's friend were crushed by a semi truck that crossed the line and smashed into them - there was nothing they could have done to avoid their fate (all were wearing their seatbelts, BTW).
On the other hand, I've never known anyone - dead or living - who's been in a plane crash.
@@don_5283 That's not how probability works.
The "smartest" way to fly is never on a so-called "Third World" airline.
Yeah true.. German wings, air France are great examples
You probably don’t know what third world is.
Especially when using first word coffins like the MAX.
A rare instance when my 0 flight hours ass can confidently say that I would've done a better job flying this aircraft. Never thought I'd say that, but here we are.
Captain had 18,000 hours and was flying like a rookie.
For real though I'm baffled at why any country gave that person permission to become a pilot
In this case there was holes barely kept together by a thread of cheese.
What kind of pilot during an engine failure not only fails to trim for max glide but ADDS FLAPS !!??
You didn't mention six people also killed on the ground
Can you do the crash of ricky nelson it was a tragic day that time
Gee, you'd almost think that Boeing overhauled those engines to the highest diversity, equity, and inclusion standards.
Boeing did not overhaul the engines. Millenium Engine Associates Inc. did. Check 7:50.
@@jamesklassen5285 I didn't say they did. I said it's almost as if they did. Same results
There you go with your silly swipe about DEI. This had nothing to do with DEI. It had everything to do with an incompetent airline hiring incompetent pilots (who refused to follow proper takeoff and landing procedures), and the use of incompetent maintenance companies. These are the things that lead to the Swiss cheese model leading to disasters like this one. Not the color or nationality or diversity malarkey right-wingers like you love to vomit as excuses for the utter incompetence by humans of all kinds, creeds and colors. Knucklehead!
@@SSN515 It was 3:00 a.m. (insomnia) when I misread your comment. Boeing certainly has gone downhill. I blame DEI and bean-counters running the show.
Can you do
Lufthansa 181?
Do Turkish Airlines 634 pleaseeee
It's implied that they actually employ "incompetent" first officers?
The F.O. although inexperienced was not that bad. It was the pilot that was the problem.
@@deepthinker999 I agree. I was making light of the requirement for new captains to be assigned to work with "competent" first officers. In reality. there shouldn't be any incompetent ones knowingly employed at this airline or anywhere else.
THEY NEED A UPDATE
Quoting Albert Einstein, "The height of stupidity."
So many things wrong here 😭
RIP !
"The Smartist Way to Fly"?
More like, "The Dumbest Way to Die"
Never turn down good help
Although it may be hard to accept, not all members of different world societies view or value human life the same way. And consequently, greater risks and less care may be an accepted way of life to economically compete.

2:30 Checklist, Schmecklist.
Didn't exactly live up to their logo...
I hope both Millenium and Dana Air were fully prosecuted and shut down. SHAME.
I lost count of boneheaded moves at 9.
Anyone surprised?
Many of those pilots must have been working for Alpine Air before.
Maintenance done like that at Alpine Air.
THEY NEED TO REDO THIS VIDEO
Wow
The huge holes in the swiss cheese layers lined right up. So many wrong actions taken.
It's best to avoid third world airlines whenever possible.
Shambolic Captain working for a rubbish airline. Very sad result .
What do you call the lowest 5 percent of a commercial pilots graduating class ? “Commercial Pilots.
Hey we've lost an engine is that important? No...we have two of them don't worry about it.
My last duty station was in Germany i flew home on air India the plane smelled the stewardist were rude they ignored myself and the other soldiers the worst flight ever
What deadly "culture" are we talking about here?
Incompetent airline and the pilots that they hired.
And another third world, third-rate airline shows why you DO NOT ever fly with them. "The Most Unsafe Way to Fly," should replace the Smartest Way to Fly logo.
Damn Millennials.

It wasn't the smartest way to fly after all.
« Smartest way to fly » equalled « saddest way to die ». Those Air Maybe airlines are a nuisance.
I see the pilots in this incedent subscribed to the anti-checklist school of thought in the aviation world. They were pretty staunch in their stance there.
The gas lines were slow, so it was their time to go.
Whoa,whoa...
Their families still alive pay no never mind 'cause they got that fat compensatory check.
Whoa,whoa...
1st. Gotta be 1st once.
Ya got me bro! Alright, let's do this!
"The Smartest Way To Fly" you sure about that Dana Air? I beg to disagree.
Nigeria !!
DEI pilot, DEI maintenance and parts: what could go wrong, did.
What's that supposed to mean in the context of an airline based in an African country?
@@GCarty80 Not that difficult to find the correlation: the pilot was their token minority, and maintenance was apparently outsourced to the lowball contractor, who I presumed had unqualified staff, but were still ‘included’.
@@mred8002 There has been a problem in the USA with major carriers outsourcing maintenance although I have not heard about it recently.
"The Smartest Way To Fly" ??????????
I dont think so.
HE WANTED TO KILL THEM
Not so smart actually.
The smartest way to fly is not with an African airline.
What's wrong with the audio voice over! Did you runout of money!
Hilarious
Dumb pilots doing everything wrong. WOW.
*Good old african witch doctor aircraft maintenance standards...what could go wrong ?....*
