Part 10/12:
Witness footage from a dashcam reveals the aircraft's final seconds—flashes of sparks, electrical wires snapping, and flame bursts from the engines. The nose of the aircraft dips as it loses altitude, and alarms intensify. The plane ultimately crashes into the ground, skidding for nearly a mile before coming to rest.
The investigation continues, with the NTSB meticulously examining all fragments. The goal: determine whether the root cause was an engine blade failure, pylon defect, or a combination of factors. The findings will inform safety recommendations to prevent similar tragic incidents in the future.
