The crash was caused by structural failure of the fuse pins on the #3 engine, causing that engine to detach from the aircraft, knocking off the #4 engine with it, causing the aircraft to roll to the right. The three crew members, one passenger in a jump seat, and 39 people on the ground were killed.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://asn.flightsafety.org/asndb/325426 | title=Accident description El Al 1862 | access-date=2007-05-07 | publisher=Aviation Safety}}</ref>
