Tractors clearing away the snow and the roads theres already been a lot of speculation a lot of discussion as to the potential possible causes of this crash good thing this the gators say theyll be looking at everything from possible technical malfunction stick human error to weather conditions and its probably best to let the men and women digging through the wreckage do their job and to give us a definitive conclusive answers to what caused this tragedy.
