    @DanishArrasuliZen That one plane Pitched Very steeply. Due to the High Angle of attack, Engine 4 Flamed repeatedly (Surge). As a result of nearly 90* Degree Pitch Up, The Airflow is disrupted into the wings causing it to not provide lift (Stall). It eventually crashes into the ground.

    The other is caused due to a very s-h,8.t Maintainance. A Crack is formed in the Right wings. Years earlier, Maintainance saw the crack. They want it to stop, so they Drilled it. It was called, a "Stop Drill Hole". But it kept growing, the stop drill hole didn't work. Even as the mechanic drilled more holes, the crack kept growing. Eventually, After the third Stop Drill, An Attempt was made. They just Added it with Doubler on the Interior and Exterior Surface on the Wing. But the Doublers didn't work Either. The crack on the plane's skin continued to grow. And fuel leaks appear. It was repaired again and again. But they kept happening.
    .
    Just 2 days before the crash. The Fuel Leak Happened Again. While doing Routine Maintenance on the Grumman Mallard, a Maintenance came across Fuel dripping from the Right Wing. They just added Chemical Sealant in the Fuel tank. The sealant takes a day to dry. Then the plane can be refueled and be returned to service. It just could've be a clue, The cracks on the wing tip is just the tip of the iceberg. But there's a much more problem with the wing's structure. The crack were in a very critical beam called "Z-Stringer". The maintainance also tried to repair the Z-Stringer. But they didnt went back in it and re-inspected the area. Instead they only added chemical Sealant to the area to make it Leak-Proof, and concealed the damage. The broken Z-Stringer weakened the entire Wing. Without it, when taking off and landing the Plane's Skin was absorbing the force. Overtime, the skin began to crack as well. And then...
