The cause of the airplane accident in Denver that injured 38 people is still unknown. Although the black box has been recovered and a number of first-hand accounts have been told, investigators are baffled by sounds that were heard prior to the accident.

Part of the problem for investigators is that the airplane’s captain is one of the 38 people who were injured in the accident and he hasn’t been able to give his account as of yet. Another aspect that is slowing down the investigation is the fact that travel conditions all across the United States are treacherous and it is making it difficult for experts to convene in a central location.

The accident occurred on the ground prior to take off on Saturday. As the plane was on the runway, it suddenly veered off to the side and went approximately 2000 feet before finally coming to a stop. When the airplane did stop, the plane itself was battered, the landing gear was torn off and the right side of the plane went up in flames.

Thankfully, there have been no fatalities as of yet, however at least five passengers remain hospitalized. All told, there were more than 100 passengers and five crew members on board when the accident happened at the Denver International Airport.
