Conclusions[]
The official cause of the accident was the explosion of the right main landing gear tire, presumably being inflated with air, instead of nitrogen, which is the gas used in commercial aviation.
Overheating of a brake element during the take-off phase was also determined as a probable cause of the explosion.
It is the worst plane crash in Robloxian territory, with the highest number of fatalities on record in ROBLOX civil aviation and it is also the worst plane crash involving a Roing 737 in the world. 119 people died and 5 were seriously injured.
