The crash may be explained by the "Swiss cheese" model of aviation safety, which posits that accidents are caused by a series of small errors aligning. Preliminary findings suggest pilot error, with the Dash-8 pilot misunderstanding air traffic control instructions, but other factors like fatigue, lighting malfunctions, and an earthquake may have contributed.
