Accident Investigation Bureau, AIB, revealed that a mechanical failure and pilot error caused the 2012 Dana air crash in Nigeria that killed 159 people.
AIB, in its statement, said two engines on the Dana Air flight failed mid-air before it crashed on approaching the Lagos airport.
According to the AIB commissioner, Akin Olateru, the inappropriate omission of the use of the checklist, the crew’s inability to appreciate the severity of the power-related problem, and their subsequent failure to land at the nearest suitable airfield contributed to the crash.
