100 killed in Nigeria plane crash
Sunday 29 October 2006
About 100 people, including the leader of Nigeria's Muslims, were killed when an airliner crashed moments after take-off from Nigeria's capital, Abuja.
An Aviation Development Company (ADC) official said 105 people were on board the scheduled flight to the northern city of Sokoto when it crashed into a field about 2km from the runway.

Christ. Mike flew ADC once, said he'd never ever do it again. There have been too many plane crashes since I arrived here, at least 3 that I can recall and one shortly before I arrived. So sad.
