What are the possible causes of the airplane crash shown in the footage?
According to aviation expert Scott Pattillo, several factors likely contributed to this crash with the sheared-off wing. Landing a low-wing airplane in crosswind conditions requires extremely precise execution, creating an inherent challenge for pilots. The situation becomes significantly more dangerous when combined with icy runways and blowing snow across the runway. The 40-mile-per-hour winds reported would have made maintaining proper aircraft control exceptionally difficult, especially during the critical landing phase. These combined environmental factors - strong crosswinds, ice, and snow - created a particularly hazardous situation requiring perfect execution, which unfortunately wasn't achieved in this incident.
