The two previous whirl mode crashes involved structural failure of the wing at the wing root and subsequent loss of a complete wing while the aircraft were still in the air. That was clearly not what happened here as both wings remained attached even after striking the railroad embankment. Whirl mode can therefore be dismissed as a factor in this accident.
