On January 15, 2019, American Airlines Flight 191 crashed in North Carolina, killing all 137 passengers and 6 crew members on board. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, was flying from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Miami, Florida.
The cause of the crash is still unknown, but investigators have several potential causes to consider.
The first potential cause of the crash is mechanical. The aircraft’s engines were functioning properly, but investigators believe that they may have been damaged in some way prior to the crash.
If this is the case, it could explain the aircraft’s sudden loss of altitude and its subsequent crash into the ground.
Another potential cause of the crash is pilot error. The aircraft’s captain, David Campbell, had more than 5,000 hours of flying experience, but investigators believe that he may have been unfamiliar with the aircraft’s flight path and its limitations.
If this is the case, it could explain the aircraft’s sudden descent and its inability to recover from it.
Investigators are still working to determine the cause of the crash, but they are looking at all of the potential causes. In the meantime, families of the victims are struggling to cope with their loss.
