The short version is pilot error.

A too rapid rate of descent broke the right main gear off and the right wing dug in causing the flip.

Everyone onboard should buy a lottery ticket and also send a thank you note to the CRJ manufacturer..

Seems like she chopped the throttles too soon, failed to maintain penetration above V-Ref, didn’t flair and pounded it on the runway. The captain should have been flying in that weather, she was too green. Lucky they didn’t have a far worse outcome, and her career is over.

"Every passengers worst nightmare is a plane crash, especially in the final moments of a flight. "

Let's have a show of hands from those people who prefer to have their plane crashes at the beginning of their flight!

The YouTube I watched, the narrator came just a millimeter (it’s Canada after all) short of saying what everyone has been thinking.

The female pilot didn’t not have the required amount of experience to be the pilot under normal rules. It sounds like she only meant the requirements under some type of DEI exception to the normal rules.
