JFK JR. AT FAULT: REPORT. Federal investigators have concluded pilot error caused the plane crash that killed John Kennedy Jr., his wife and sister-in-law â bolstering a possible lawsuit from his brideâs family, it was reported yesterday.
Pilot error was the primary cause. Owing to a communication misunderstanding, the KLM captain thought he had clearance for takeoff. Another cause was dense fog, meaning the KLM flight crew was unable to see the Pan Am aircraft on the runway until immediately prior to the collision. 2007 study by Popular Mechanics found passengers sitting at the back of a plane are 40% more likely to survive a crash than those sitting in the front. Although this article quotes Boeing, the FAA and a website on aircraft safety, all claim there is no safest seat.
