To add to B737900er's post and strictly staying on the flying side of things (btw, his points are very valid ones)...
It usually takes 3 broken links in a chain for an accident to happen. The following could be contributing factors to the crash...
- Bad weather (thunderstorm, windshear/microburst).
- Mechanical problems (always a possibility).
- Mediocre flying skills with lack of experience.
- Fitness of the crew (hours on duty).
- And finally, bad airmanship (poor decision making and/or bad judgement).
