1996 plane crash in Lagos, Nigeria
ADC Airlines Flight 086 (ADK086) was a Nigerian domestic flight operated by ADC Airlines from Port Harcourt to Lagos. On the afternoon of 7 November 1996, the crew of the Boeing 727-231 operating the flight lost control of the aircraft while avoiding a mid-air collision on approach; the aircraft crashed inverted at a very high speed into a lagoon, killing all 144 passengers and crew on board. The crash remains as the fourth deadliest plane crash in Nigerian history after Dana Air Flight 0992, the 1992 Nigerian Air Force C-130 crash, and the 1973 Kano Nigeria Airways Boeing 707 crash.
