Maybe 3... have you seen how slow they are moving now? Especially the accidents that are a bit more interesting.

My bet is something was missed or not completed with mainenance. Things happen when you inject humans into anything. I would hate to be that guy.

I maybe wrong, time will (probably) tell. But that is where I would bet money.

I remember but don't recall the exact details, but a shift change in mechanics staff when installing a commercial jetliner engine and some items got missed or not installed caused a major accident one time. Thinking this accident might have something major missed in mainteneance as a wing coming off in flight is so rare.
