The families and friends of the 55 who died probably wouldn’t appreciate the semantics of that statement.
I’m not saying it wasn’t tragic. No disrespect was meant
Maybe I should be clearer in my intent here.
A “crash” implies some sort of body hitting another. That didn’t happen. It was an engine fire which turned into the tragic event we all know.
I’ve read all about this incident, a lot of lessons were learned that day. Just a shame so many had to die to teach us.

Might be worth trying to gleen information from the AAIB. Its a bit before the time of the internet so there might not be a report there, but worth having a look around
Report here http://www.aaib.dft.gov.uk/cms_resources/dft_avsafety_pdf_502609.pdf
