It was a combination of wake turbulence and composite material failure. Obviously, this A300 had undetected composite fatigue prior to this flight. Now, put that fatigue in a situation with the different loads from significant wake turbulence and you get what we have here...a tragic crash and a call for inspections of all A300's.

Thank you for letting us know in advance the official government explanation of this tragedy. Yes, let's all call for inspections of all Airbuses, an end to wake turbulence, and a rest for airframe composites in order to combat their fatigue. Book your airline reservations today!

Most crashes are a combination of factors which, on their own would not cause a crash. It is not a conspiracy, it is simply investigation.
