How It Happened
When the pilot heard the loud noise, he tried to land the plane. The plane then cracked in half near the tail and slid 325 yards, almost hitting residential houses and a rail line. There is speculation that the crash could have been caused from a tire blowing during takeoff or that one of the engines blew.
