It crashed because of a fault on another airplane, a 5 Kg titanium strip from a DC10 entered the wing at very high speed. Not a lot of aircraft of the day would have survived such an impact.

Almost all jetliners of the day would have survived it because their tires wouldn’t lushest accelerated it to 300 MPH.
