25 years on and still no official explanation of why this aircraft crashed and these 29 dedicated professionals perished.
As there is no accident recorder that will reveal the irrefutable facts, then we never will. The most plausible and likely is that it was CFIT, however, due to poor airworthiness management, then technical failure cannot be ruled out, even if less likely - it really isn’t your day if you are trying your hardest to get a task done in horrible weather and just before you are about to hit something then the aircraft packs up. Some days you really do just run out of luck when the holes in the Swiss cheese line up.

RIP all, you will be remembered.
