The investigation revealed that the plane was descending at 1,100 feet per minute, significantly higher than the 600-foot threshold for what constitutes a "hard landing." This rapid descent triggered a warning just before touchdown, resulting in critical mechanical failures during landing. A part attached to the plane's landing gear broke upon impact, causing the aircraft to roll, lose its right wing, and ignite. Fortunately, all 76 passengers and four crew members evacuated safely before an explosion occurred near the left wing after the incident.

Experts like Jeff Guzzetti, a former U.S. accident investigator, commented on the potential exceedance of design stress limits of the landing gear due to the extreme descent. The investigation is ongoing, and more details will be released as they become available.
