and I wonder that the public still doesn't know the cause of the accident.

FO pressed take-over button (i.e. autopilot off) instead of push-to-talk switch for the radio, captain didn't realize that autopilot isn't flying, never took over airplane, crashed into the ground.

This is from very reliable sources.
