Egypt Air 990, Air Canada 797, and Flash 604

Reviews three major commercial airline disasters, each involving complex circumstances that made determining the exact cause challenging. The first case examines Egypt Air Flight 990, where investigators analyzed flight recorder data and wreckage to understand the final moments. Theories ranged from mechanical failures to deliberate actions by the crew, highlighting the difficulty of distinguishing between human error and intentional acts. The second account covers Air Canada Flight 797, which suffered an in-flight fire. Investigators explored both technical malfunctions, such as electrical or mechanical faults, and human factors affecting the crew’s response. The crash prompted changes in fire detection, cabin evacuation procedures, and emergency training. The third narrative discusses Flash Airlines Flight 604, which crashed due to loss of control during flight. Possible contributing factors included spatial disorientation, vertigo, and mismanagement of the aircraft’s controls. The investigation involved multinational teams and led to recommendations to improve pilot training and operational safety standards. Together, these cases illustrate how mechanical failures, human factors, and challenging investigative conditions intersect in aviation disasters, driving reforms to prevent similar tragedies.
