Air Crash at Toronto Pearson International Airport on February
The causation theory is based on the structural failure of critical aircraft components, primarily the right main landing gear, fuel system, and vertical stabilizer, which contributed to the crash dynamics, injuries, and fire. The failure of the landing gear caused a hard landing and subsequent aircraft overturn, leading to physical trauma and burns. Damage to the fuel system facilitated post-crash fire, exacerbating injuries. Damage to the vertical stabilizer affected aircraft stability during landing, especially under gusty conditions, contributing to the severity of the crash and injuries.
