There are unconfirmed reports of several ground fatalities.
There are also rumors of a dual engine failure. The accident happened shortly after take-off.

LN1783, originally delivered to Alaska Airlines on 13 Nov 1990. It was showing about 57k hours and 30k flights. There's a possibility I flew on that airplane back in the day.

Would not a quick check of your log book, where you wrote down tail numbers, livery colours and glued pictures of the meals served, give you a more accurate answer?

A plane crashes and AD.info is discussing liveries, and flight reports?

What's wrong with this picture?

Lawsuit filed in US over Nigerian plane crash

The husband of a Nigerian woman who died in the crash of a Nigerian airliner that killed 153 people has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. blaming those who designed and manufactured the plane for the accident.

Attorney Gary Robb filed the lawsuit Thursday in federal court in Chicago for David Chukwunonso Allison. The lawsuit says Allison's wife, Joy Chiedozie Allison, was on the Dana Air MD-83 that crashed in Nigeria on Sunday.

The suit names Chicago-based Boeing Co., which bought the McDonnell-Douglas manufacturer of the plane. It also names Connecticut-based engine-maker Pratt & Whitney.

Robb says reports of engine failure point the finger of blame at the companies.

Pratt & Whitney planned to release a statement later Thursday. Messages left for a Boeing spokesman weren't immediately returned.

Robb is an idiot!

[Sir Gallivant]

Aircraft and aircraft components are man made.
God(s) (take your pick of preferred deity) made man.
Religious establishments on Earth are the representatives of god(s).
Some churches have loads of cash, why no sue them, as obviously god(s) are ultimately responsible for any and everything.
At least it makes the same amount of sense.

The cockpit voice recorder (CVR) retained about 31 minutes of the flight and starts about 1515 [the plane was already at cruise] at which time the captain and first officer were in a discussion of a nonnormal condition regarding the correlation between the engine throttle setting and an engine power indication3.
However, they did not voice concerns then that the condition would affect the continuation of the flight. The flight crew continued to monitor the condition and became increasingly concerned as the flight transition through the initial descent from cruise altitude at 1522 and the subsequent approach phase.
DAN 992 reported passing through 18,100 and 7,700 ft, respectively, at 1530 and 1540 hours. After receiving a series of heading and altitude assignments from the controller, DAN 992 was issued the final heading to intercept the final approach course for runway 18R.
During the period of 1537 and 15:41 the flight crew engaged in pre-landing tasks including deployment of the slats, and extension of the flaps and landing gear. At 15:41:16 the first officer (FO) inquired, "both engines coming up?" and the captain (Capt) replied “negative.” The
flight crew subsequently discussed and agreed to declare an emergency. At 1542:10, DANA 992 radioed an emergency distress call indicating "dual engine failure . . . negative response from throttle."
At 1542:35, the flight crew lowered the flaps further and continued with the approach and discussed landing alternatively on runway 18L. At 1542:45, the Capt
reported the runway in sight and instructed the FO to raise the flaps up and 4 seconds later to raise the landing gear.
At 1543:27 hours, the Capt informed the FO "we just lost everything, we lost an engine. I lost both engines". During the next 25 seconds until the end of the CVR recording, the flight crew was attempting to restart the engines.
