Initially there were many theories (see links below) but in the end the cause of this Kenya Airways crash that claimed the lives of all on board became clear. Sometimes an experienced pilot does not match with very well with a 23 year old first officer.
On May 5, 2007, Kenya Airways flight KQA507, from Abidjan to Nairobi, plunged into a mangrove swamp on a stormy night in Douala, Cameroon, minutes after take-off, killing all 114 people on board. This is what happened clearly illustrated in animation followed by details from Chris Kumekucha.
