- Cause: “...the destruction of the tyre caused damage, either directly or indirectly, to the aircraft structure and systems, causing the aircraft to crash less than one minute and thirty seconds after the destruction of the tyre. The damage sequence and the connections between the various events have not yet been fully established. However, the effect of these events was: one or more punctures in at least one fuel tank resulting in a major fuel release; ignition of the released fuel and an intense fire throughout the remainder of the flight. This fire started a few seconds after the destruction of the tyre; a loss of thrust on one, and then two engines.”
