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..

I don’t know but it seems the CR aircraft knew to stop, drop, and roll when on fire! Saved lives!
