If you liked this article, definitely consider checking out other articles written by Kyra (Admiral_Cloudberg). She has done a ton of articles on almost all notable (near)crashes, including their root causes, investigations, and subsequent effects on the airplane industry.

For some crashes that have interesting causes (at least from an engineering perspective) beyond "maintenance failed to identify a problem before takeoff" or "pilots fail to identify problem or take wrong actions", I strongly recommend the articles on TWA 800 (1996) [1] and the near-crash of SmartLynx Estonia 9001 (2018) [2]. The first goes into great detail exactly _how_ the FAA discovered the root cause, whereas the second one involves a logic oversight in the flight computers of a modern Airbus plane.

The article on TWA 800 was excellent, especially for those that don't know much about what happened.

I've read the accident report, a few books, and even some of the conspiracy theories and this is the best "factual" summary.

What a great article on TWA 800. My gramps was a retired manager from TWA and when that happened he was all over it calling his buddies still working there. Thanks for the article!
